Went 2nd week of Jan last year, - 25°. Nice snow but even when it was sunny you had to go indoors in the mountain restaurants.
At my age I like to sit outside with a bit of warmth and sunshine too
Same here.

I was a mean LW in hockey in the Navy. Pacy and could cross.
Not necessarily, a Customs Union is not a unicorn, and nor is Single Market access. They are more relevant for the future discussions but are not wholly incompatible with the WA like the Malthouse Compromise is.
Agreed. I’m not a skier but I accompanied my friends on a March skiing trip and joined a hikers group and spent my days on foot discovering the peaks and valleys. One of the nicest holidays I’ve ever had. It’s having the confidence to do your own thing.
I was obviously too much of a nerd to be picked for the ski team
I genuinely never get a straight answer from a Brexiteer on this. No one wants to acknowledge they are potentially supporting the death of innocent Brits. Ignoring a horrendous reality just to be "right", just to "win".

I'm just considering the government's response to the 'revoke Article 50' petition on parliament's own website and the effect that might have on subsequent General Elections and Referenda.
"Parliament will debate this petition on 1 April 2019. It remains the Government’s firm policy not to revoke Article 50. We will honour the outcome of the 2016 referendum and work to deliver an exit which benefits everyone, whether they voted to Leave or to Remain. Revoking Article 50, and thereby remaining in the European Union, would undermine both our democracy and the trust that millions of voters have placed in Government."
This is telling 6 million people not only are they undermining democracy and trust, and acting dishonourably, but the government by acting against their wishes will deliver an outcome that will benefit them!
Are they f*cking stupid?! Seems to me they're writing off 20% of the electorate, not to mention the majority of younger voters.
I don't see what the government had to gain by putting this response on there - no upside, only a large downside.

Richard Ash MEP, 63% of us didn't vote that tw*t Farage and allow ourselves to be groomed by the right wing populist media...

What makes you think the DUP are suddenly going to give in?
A feeling in my bones.

Here's a strange one.
Whips just confirmed #indicativevotes will be free votes with Cabinet abstaining.

Wonderful in commons at the moment - Letwin and JRM debating the role of privy councillors in the 17th century. Beckett, Clarke, Redwood all having a go as well. Lovely stuff.
Scared of having their names attached to stopping Brexit...?

So we've got to get these debates done in a matter of hours and these clowns are taking about parliamentary etiquette at the time of Cromwell. FFS!

6 million votes would make you the largest party in every EU state bar Germany, France, Italy and Spain. It's more than the entire population of 12 of the EU states and more than half of a further 8 so it's not surprising they see that figure as significant, unlike Theresa May who couldn't give a sh*t.
