  • Mine isn’t coming until November, which is crazy but it is what it is.

    Bit of a cock-up with the order though which was fun…

    Did a preorder on the 22nd before I headed out, set up a trade in and finance via the Apple Store. About 2 hours later I got a text about additional identity checks or whatever, text says you have 90 minutes after clicking the link so I thought that was fine, will sort it when I get home, no luck. Waited on hold for 2:15 the next morning to get through to Barclays finance only to be told you have 90 minutes from the delivery of the text and because I missed the window I had to cancel and re-order, which is a bloody stupid thing.

    Got the order cancelled and resubmitted but now I have to wait until November… 7-14th is my window. 😭😭😭


  • Oui, c’est une torture! Presque fini, j’espère…

    Oh, c’est bon d’entendre, tout le monde a besoin des petites victoires ❤️

    Je vous remercie… je suis américaine, mais j’habite en Angleterre depuis des ans. Je devrais être bonne, j’apprendrais depuis trois ans, mais je n’ai pas des amis francophones et je ne pratique assez. J’adore le français, c’est une langue vraiment belle.






  • I don’t understand your position on this, to be frank. The UK is a relatively small agricultural area when compared to the total CAP coverage area. Why opt to vote to exclude ourselves from that when the UK previously had reasonable influence on EU policy? Surely an approach of tactical voting to ensure both local and EU representation had a greener/longer-term approach to these types of policies rather than pushing the UK to go it alone?

    While I don’t disagree that going it alone reduces the hurdles to this type of policy change (assuming political will), it does push the UK into a space of competitive disadvantage, does it not? Some of the investment and improvements the article points out (admittedly I have skimmed rather than read thoroughly) will come with time anyway, and having been part of a larger community could have been helpful in making the transition.
