> Coincidentally, this evening (for me at least; yesterday evening for you) I've just been on the phone to my Uncle who lives... in Dublin.  He's a millionaire on paper but only because he bought a house in the 1970s whose value took off in the last couple of the decades.  I can therefore understand why your son has such a relatively high rent for his apartment.  As you implied, it's a good thing he's in the IT business.

> Anyway, that's a telling comment about lathes i.e. 'last in, first out'.  I wonder why that is?  Convenience?  In this day & age, I would definitely keep one as a 'back-up' in your business...

> Finally, regarding BREXIT the younger generation in England & Wales will almost certainly vote to get back in the EU in the 2030s (of course most of Ireland will stay in it & Scotland will return asap after leaving the UK this decade) but on worse terms than the present UK enjoys now.  A complete waste of time & money for the UK & EU taxpayer.  A good thing I can move to Ireland still tomorrow if it really goes TITANIC over here!
