No more government handouts to pay, everybody could afford a house, and a new car creating a massive boost for business. We would all be able to sustain a decent standard of living, but of course there would need to be rules ie no sending money out of the country for starters! C'mon UKIP get us out of Europe! |

Neil, you do realise you are talking about Lyn/Lisa's Grandfather however many times , William Marshal is on their family tree. |

| Vince Hawthorn Posts: 12758 Joined: 19th Apr 2010 Location: UK | Posted at 22:54 on 10th July 2014 No worries Neil, and yes , William was a far better person than John. |
