Brexit Would Reduce Life Expectancy For Men By As Much As Six Years And Three For Women.

I thought I heard this on the wireless this morning but was only half listening and may have picked it up wrong. Would it be the massive slump following our leaving the EU that would take years of us?

And the world will at midnight on the day we leave.

Sandy, now might be a good time to have a portrait painted and store it in the attic.

[Jackdaw33]

You couldn't make it up. And thanks for the use of the word 'wireless'. I'm not the only one.

[sandyRoe]

As I said, I could have misheard. But the straightened times experienced by people after the rift couldn't be good for the health of he nation.

[sandyRoe]

Jackdaw, couldn't I? :-))

[Jackdaw33]

Straitened, Sandy, not straightened.

[sandyRoe]

I blame that on the autocorrect. It too 3 tries to get 'Brexit'. It insisted on Brecht.

the man who invented autocorrect died yesterday.

His funfair is next Monkey

Wireless - haven't heard that phrase in years. Makes me feel old. How could it be 'wireless' if we plugged it into the electricity.

I remember being amazed that my Bay City Roller's LP had so much music on it - it seemed like magic. Now a ipod can hold more music than I will ever own.

hmm I always said that voting Brexit would cause the voter cancer .....

This can only be good news for the economy, etc. After all, 'they' blame most of society's ills on people living longer.

I don't know if you misheard or not, but I would say that you can prove almost anything with statistics. Maybe someone used the average age at death for all EU citizens and compared with the average age at death for all non-EU citizens; and by leaving the EU one is then in the second group.

Staying in the EUSSR will not lengthen your life..........It will just feel that way.

Wireless means that the signal is transmitted without the use of wires, as in telegraph. It has nothing to do with the powering of the receiver.

My two cocoa tins connected by a piece of string doesn't have any wires, Jackdaw.
