      We can hardly say that we want open frictionless trade with the EU one minute and restrict their right to bid for a UK contract the next. Of course if we staying in the EU we could simply claim national security like the French government does.

      Oh, and Will - the Good Lord can forgive you your blasphemy, but you will have to dress up in a Brunswick Green cape and run 10 times around the local maypole, chanting 'All Hail George Jackson Churchward!'.... ;-)

      I wasn't charged an extortion fee when I bought last year's ticket from the Ian Allan bookshop in Birmingham.

      I agree, I went there in an August one year - major error and had to press on to Milford Haven (where you can get an excellent sausage sandwich).
