Athy 901 Report post #5 Posted November 28, 2019 If so, it's ambiguous: No to the EU, or No to leaving? I guess it could be interpreted either way and thus it should please everybody. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it has been removed for a few years now, presumably because the ownership of the property changed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nightwatch 787 Report post #17 Posted November 29, 2019 Can’t decide if there’s more than one property there, but there was a ‘residence’ for sale a year or so ago. We got stuck there at least a couple of years ago for a few weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Peter X 311 Report post #19 Posted November 29, 2019 If it was indeed a late 1990s reference to the England men's football team not winning something, there are several possibilities: Maybe having failed to qualify for the 1994 World Cup. Or... Euro 1996 semi final v Germany (penalties!) World Cup 1998 last 16 v Argentina (penalties again) Euro 2000 group stage, losing to both Portugal and Romania Quite a catalogue of disappointment, often added to since.
