    Register to vote in the referendum? or register to run in the Big Cheese
    Race? Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. What a conundrum One, or the other, or both?
    I`ll have to seek some advice. and if it`s the Big Cheese Race I hope it`s EU aquired Cheese, to add to trade defecit between us and Europe.

      My advice is they are both a bit cheesy, made so by our Prime Minister making strange statements such as the impossibility of Turkey becoming an EU member when he said in 2014 that he was personally “Going to pave the road from Ankara to the EU.”

      Talking cheese, the last proper Caerffili farmhouse cheese maker was forced to cease production in the 1990’s at the demand of the EU. The cheese maker was Tegwen Evans who made her, very good, cheese at the Courthouse pub in our town. Check the news archives, another example of how the EU destroys jobs in Wales.

        Another classic example of eu diktat crushing small businesses in favour of large companies who offer large favours. The eussr will eventually be as bland as every other communist state.
