    So going to max out the veggie patch and greenhouse, might get a poly tunnel, got plenty of wood for the log burner, start to stockpile canned goods, get some hens  got plenty of Rabbits, second oil tank on order – quite looking forward to it.

    Might have to renew the shotgun licence……

    If things get that bad then people will just come and steal all the stuff you have prepared.

    Actuallt just been discussing with the wife about what we should do with the savings.

    If I didn’t have kids to think about I’d just buy some weed & giggle the shit out of myself watching the leave voters blame everyone but themselves

    Have you checked house prices in Perth, though the 50k beach side commute is nice from the northern desert.

    How much will they offer for a middle aged man in a sexy nurse uniform 9 sizes too small for him?

    I was thinking of buying gold between now and when it happens. If I think put all that in a pension just after the arse drops out of the market, by the time it’s recovered over the next 30 years, I might just have a pension worth the effort.

    Sold my house and moved in with the missus. Banking all the money and not buying until we see how the shit show pans out next year. Thankfully I’m 100% debt free and lucky enough to have enough in the bank to cover me for a good few years of not working should the worst scenarios pan out. I’m getting inundated with lucrative overseas job offers at the moment so if we absolutely go to the wall here then me and the missus are off ski

    Belgium had no elected government for 1 year and a half (2010 – 2011) and no one was arsed. Everyone just went about their business, watched the cyclocross, and got on the ale. So stand down with the shotgun, oldmanmtb.

    How is this even remotely relevant to what will happen in the event of a no-deal brexit?

    I’m planning to head for the hills in Northamptonshire. If that doesn’t work, I’ll hole up at the top of the Express Lifts testing tower.

    I’ll baracade into a shopping center.

    It worked OK in dawn of the dead. Except they have gun shops in shopping malls in America so I’d have to aquire weapons elsewhere before I take over meadowhall.

    Simples – my mother was Irish and born in Ireland, as in Eire. That means I’m an Irish citizen and am legally guaranteed an Irish passport – as are my children so…..I don’t trucking care. When shit hits fan I’ll move to France; buy house and gîte, rent gîte to remainers/remoaners only; brexies, sun/mail/express readers will be totally unwelcome – and probably torygraph readers.

    (Great) Britain? Historically, yes. Now and in the future – Great? Im not convinced

    The only things in the shops will be UK products. We’ll all have to live on Greggs steak bakes and shitty Tesco lager 😱

    I think the only relevance is that we would be better off not having a government than the current bunch of eejits.

    That means I’m an Irish citizen and am legally guaranteed an Irish passport

    Probably best to get it sooner rather than later though. I havent got round to it yet but I think will need to soon.

    No idea, I’m mortgaged to the hilt and have no savings, so any ‘planning’ is pretty pointless, might buy some paracetamol and make sure the car is full of fuel all the time in the first few weeks, but beyond that the shit will hit the fan and I fully expect to be one of the ones bearing the full force of it.

    Practically, I plan to learn German. I had no intention of moving abroad whilst we were in the EU, however I’ve a feeling that even if a job could in principle be done anywhere (engineering design work, mostly for companies outside the EU being my previous employment), I suspect that the interdependence with the jobs market will result in better EU wages than in the UK.  As just because my job could be here or germany, the german company is competing for talent with all the other engineering employers doing domestic work.  Whereas I’ll be competing with a load of other out of work engineers.

    I seem to recall the predictions of chaos and everything collapsing both before and after the Brexit vote. Nothing really changed. I doubt it will now, even if it goes forward. Would be intrigued to know how many of the people saying at the time of the vote they will apply for whatever EU passport they could, actually did, and how many of them actually moved once they had the passport.

    I am seriously considering booking a holiday to Ireland. Worst case I should be able to blag a desk and laptop at head office and because I will still have an EU passport no work visa issues to worry about.

    To answer your point, we haven’t left all the agreements are still in place, on the 1st of April 750 agreements covering trade, flights, food, energy, customs, etc etc etc all simultaneously end. Some of these agreements aren’t that important. Some mean no flights can leave the UK, and the cross border energy supplies get shut down. which are marginally more important.

    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

    It really does come down to what no deal means. NO DEAL and the UK is screwed, no trade deal, but the agreements covering driving licences, planes, medicines etc and things will just be bad.

    One thing to keep in mind, the ERG, Legatum,etc look at those pushing and funding and ask why? The Kiwi behind Legatum made  a fortune during the collapse of the Soviet Union. Chaos is a good way of making money.

    I’m just slowly moving moist of my ISA and SIPP holdings out of things heavily focussed on the UK.

    I think holding cash is pretty daft right now.

    I’m going to have to do the same to the various company pension schemes I’ve accreted over the years. Probably a good opportunity to amalgamate some of the smaller and more pointless ones.

    I haven’t really thought beyond that. If we start having power cuts it’s all going to get very grim very quickly.

    Thr inititial registration as an Irish citizen born outside of Ireland, which is what you need to get a passport, is taking up to 6 months right now. Then it’s another month to get the actual passport.
