I’m going to start buying up the old Mills in the north West for my new concept of work from home enterprises or “Work Houses” as I plan to call them

You will be making our country great again. Sir, I salute you!

People will really get behind a made in Britain tag when they see the kids working there, and the performance management beatings

Ahhh the good old days.

Keep getting these good ideas, was at the station today and a freight train went past full of shipping containers  when we reduce our reliance on the rest of the world these could be used to get people around the place. Also Scotland  its quite empty, could we just fence it off and make it a prison or something?

I hope those mills are water powered as we've burnt all the coal

Wouldn't work.  We're a bit touchy about our FREEEEEEEEDOM up here.

We can just use the waste workers.

Pp just like the old days we will build the wall/fence then let you know about it. Honestly though I've hardly seen anything other than hills since Carlisle

There will be a massive 11th hour deal and what comes out of it is going to be a lot like remaining.

The fanatics on both sides of the ‘debate’ will each talk as though the sky has fallen in, and 90pc of us will carry on as normal.

Agree.

Just to check, when we had all that stuff about them adding in "other" meat to stuff, could anyone actually taste the difference?

I can get Hungarian citizenship, but it involves hunting for the records of the Hungarian Jew half of my ancestors who left Hungary in the interwar period - and learning Hungarian. Which is a bit of a ballache.

Also, letting the Hungarian government know that I likely have Jewish ancestry, feels like I'm asking to get gassed or lynched in the future.

Maybe Israel? 😀

Yes, I imagine the like of VW, BMW, Bosche, Airbus etc will be happy to let a large 1st world country (yes, you still are) drift off and not impact their revenue streams.

I forgot one of the reasons I dont miss the UK and this is it, the incessant despondency and fatalism, instead of this despondency you should be looking at the opportunities, the means to make good on the situation, to manage and then look to improve the situation but no, its the usual dull bitching, you do realize that nothing is final, corners can lead to 90, even 180 degree turns?

Disclaimer: Its Friday evening here and I may have been drinking, but I mean what I say about the UKs despondency, as the Chinese say its a crisisstunity.

I'm sure we can all learn punjabI and call them up asking them to swap their energy supplier.

Which opportunities have you found? What are the timescales involved in them coming to fruition? Are those opportunities available to the average UK based worker and their family? If "nothing is final", when should the investment and decisions be made to grasp these opportunities?

"

Nothing really changed.

Apart from:

The pound tanking against the euro and dollar

inflation increasing 6 fold

a talent flight from the NHS

Numerous business going bust

etc etc"

Pure shite

I wonder which imported goods we should start hording now?

Lego, can be swapped for cash in any country!

Stop watching the news. You won’t notice any difference.

People still watch the news? Have you not seen Anchorman 2?

Only £5.50 but only lasts a year (start date can be delayed 3 months). I'll get one later in the year as I drive in Spain quite a bit.

Annoyingly I can't get an Irish passport (I did live there as a child) but I could get a Spanish one (except I'd have to live there for a year AND give up my UK passport).

One of the weirder 'benefits' of brexit I saw being touted on facetbook before the referendum was that take aways used to mean fish and chips and would again. So I guess I'm planning on eating a lot of fish and chips and less curry/Chinese.

Jokes aside the last two jobs I've applied for have been Denmark and Taiwan, largely because energy sector jobs are rapidly heading overseas rather than choice.
