Fin, that is a chart that shows who drunk the previous week in 2016, I'm going to suggest the week they used would have been started on Friday the 24th of June 2016 Using your eligibility of stats, do you think the Scots drank more or less than the English in 2014, say around the week commencing say the 19th of September 2014? https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopula...esurveyadultdrinkinghabitsingreatbritain/2014
To be fair to the Scottish Noobs. They couldn't remember how much they drank the previous week, or the current week for that matter, as they were sozzled when asked. That data above has no credence.
meh, thats an old stat, mine shows we are improving. i wounder how far we would need to go back to find some evidence of you not being a nob?
hmm, a lot of promotion of the Daily Record there. there sales have plummeted in the last 4years by about 2/3rds if i mind right.
Plenty of me being a knob, but, the trouble when you select one week as those statistics do, it could be a week when England were winning football, by results the Scots would drink less. Unless you specify the week it's difficult to see the full reasoning for the figures
I don't drink anymore Fin. I've delegated - I let others do it for me. What's this brew money? Do you mean you actually get a weekly pish allowance up there? Do we get it too? If so I'm due about 7 year's back pay. I'll need that for petrol money when I head north to the land of bogs and midges in June. If you like I'll bring you some west country cider. It'll make you less fighty than that rascally licquer you drink and its excellent for cleaning up alloy engine casings.
For a start, does that include Scottish 16- and 17-year-olds, whether or not they voted in the previous election?
yip lots of ways to interpret stats, especially if you make up the conditions as you go along noob. brew is a local term for welfare, and what with you living in one of the poorest regions of the country i dare say there is a few drowning their sorrows on money scrounged from me. but i dont mind, i generally only bring it up when the pot is pointing at the kettle
Surprised that the normally dreadful Huffpost allowed the distinguished professor to espouse his positive view "The EU Commission response to May’s proposals has been predictably aggressive, with much talk of ‘cherries and cake’. What this means in translation is that the EU’s protectionist ‘cake’ and the ‘cherries’ on it in the form of protection for specific sectors like cars and chemicals cannot be ‘shared’. But the UK is not asking to share in any protectionism. It will abolish it with respect to the outside world, for the benefit of its own consumers, thus itself, and indeed of the outside world. All it is doing is offering to have free trade between the UK and the EU, solely; any trade passing through the UK to the EU would be unaffected. This new agreement would be made under WTO laws; it is not generally realised that the WTO will from now on be the only source of international law on the EU and our mutual trade and general commercial relations. Under WTO rules we must both observe strict non-discrimination on goods and services; this specifically includes discrimination in favour of our own residents. Thus we cannot deny recognition of each other’s standards when they transparently achieve the same objects or indeed as now are actually the same. This applies as much to chemicals as it does to financial services. The EU Commission still seems to be blissfully unaware of this, thinking that on day one of Brexit it can suddenly pull out of recognising UK standards. Yet this will be quite illegal as well as absurd. For an organisation as dependent on international law as the EU this is a surprising development.". https://m.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/no-deal-brexit_uk_5abbafe0e4b04a59a3137533?utm_hp_ref=uk-brexit

I'm confused Noobs. Is this because of Brexit or despite Brexit? It'll be the fault of Brexit somwwhere down the line. Frogs on strike.
When it comes to the Frenchies, they always blame the Brits. I think secretly they have always wanted to be German and have never forgiven us for kicking the Germans out for them. What's a nation gonna do?

The Guardian, making sense on our trade deficit with the EU? Even hypothetically questioning whether we'd actually want to join if we were already on the outside? Have they lost their minds? Perhaps they've over loaded on outrage recently due to gender pay gaps https://www.theguardian.com/busines...de-deficit-with-the-eu-is-woeful-and-widening
