[Margaret Pilkington]

Back in those days it was not the political entity it is now....it was a number of countries who thought that banding together would encourage trade between those countries.
It was a multi-national market place.........it is no longer that.....Ted Heath gave away our fishing rights to get us in.......if I remember rightly General De Gaulle didn't actually want us in their neat little trading club....and to be honest, my feeling was 'well, if they don't want us, then I don't want to be in it'........I was also very sceptical about the benefits to the UK.
