I love cabbage mmmmmm

[MegoSteve]

I hate the way this kind of misinformation spread around the internet.

[wolfie]

No it isn't true but it would surprise nobody if it was.

[Mikey]

Is the UK part of the EU ?

Sometimes it seems like they are and other times it seems like they're not.

[raider5gt]

Yes Mike we are part of the EU

[palitoy]

My parents send me a "snopes worthy" forward almost daily, mum sent me a speech by "Robin Williams" that was clearly not ever uttered by hm yesterday.

[Mikey]

Yes Mike we are part of the EU

Oh ok, ... I think sometimes it seems like they're not because they don't use Euros (money)

[MegoSteve]

No it isn't true but it would surprise nobody if it was.

It's "truthy."

Never give up your UK pounds ...

It would be like giving up Big Ben, Tower Bridge or anything else uniquely British

Absolutely.
And I can assure everybody that all our road signs are still in miles, and we still measure things in feet and inches.

[raider5gt]

Couldn't agree more Bruce Banner.... although we do have alot of road signs.
