How will you celebrate UK independence day on 1st Nov ?

[cassa333]

Well I shall wait for the day to arrive when we do leave but in spite of BJ rhetoric I still think we won’t leave or if we do it will be BRINO.

Remain has too much face to loose to allow us to leave let alone leave properly.

[ummmm]

I won't be celebrating.

[douglas9401]

I thought I might just PMSL for a bit then come on here and read the yer but, no but tripe about why we're still in the EU. X :-)

[ToraToraTora]

ummmm: why doesn't that surprise me!

[saintpeter48]

I'm going to buy a packet of humbugs!

[ToraToraTora]

I bought 10 bottles of Champagne for my club friends the day after the referendum I think I'll make it 20 this time.

[ummmm]

Again, TTT, I don't know! It's just not my idea of a fun celebration.

[ToraToraTora]

getting out of the EUSSR is not a good thing to you?

[douglas9401]

Shhhhhh, ummmm, don't interrupt Jonesy in mid-fantasy.

[ToraToraTora]

I'm especially looking forward to the mass outpouring of grief from the VBQC types, that's going to be fun for years!

[dannyk13]

TTT I think you should wait to see if it happens before planning any celebrations.

You're buying Champagne? Is that patriotic?

[aelmpvw]

i might throw a party and squeeze the thighs of a few lady guests

[ToraToraTora]

champagne was invented by the English TCL

[THECORBYLOON]

"champagne was invented by the English" was that on the side of a bus?

[jim360]

Maybe he read it in a history book. Although it's worth clarifying that sparkling champagne was a thing by accident before the English decided that they liked it.

//Champagne was invented by the English TCL//

Was it heck as like.

Wiki says...
//The oldest recorded sparkling wine is Blanquette de Limoux, which was apparently invented by Benedictine monks in the Abbey of Saint-Hilaire, near Carcassonne in 1531.//

The English did create the bottling technique to allow the wine to continue fermentation , but not the bubbly itself.

We can debate the history of Champagne and sparkling wine for ages. The fact is, though, that it's way more complicated than "The English invented it".
