You probably done the right thing and separated them because I once got physical with a colleague after a works drink. The relationship never worked out, as is often the case in such circumstances :winking:

That comment reminded me of something quite funny I saw on Facebook last week, and I think it sum's it up perfectly......I have heard some sad/funny stories about families I know that have had fall outs over the result. [B said:
" The younger generation that complained that the older generation had ruined their future, are the same people who are now spending all their time running around the streets chasing imaginary creatures called Pokemon on their mobile phones"
This is one of the better analyses I've read on it

If it's too long for you (and I'd suggest it's worth reading in full), at least read the final paragraph.

The last paragraph is particularly interesting, as it reaches a conclusion that would suit many on the remain side.
It's a sort of I told you so, even though at present we haven't worked out what our relationship with the EU will be.
The article pays scant regard to the EU itself, despite the author having an in depth knowledge of the Euro and Greek debt crisis.
For me it wasn't the scornful last paragraph that was poignant, but this one;
One of the most important ideas to emerge from micro-economics – or at least, the one with the most consequences for democratic politics – is ‘loss aversion’. People hate to have things taken away from them. But whole swathes of the UK have spent the last decades feeling that things are being taken away from them: their jobs, their sense that they are heard, their understanding of how the world works and their place in it. The gaps in our society have just grown too big.

I have read some **** in my time but that takes the cake. Stick to restaurant criticism Mr Lanchester, where your absurd generalizations and sneering snobbery might be mistaken for harmless eccentricity.

Thought this article offered an insight to how events could possibly evolve over the coming months and what to look for when negociations get underway.

For those who quoted the IMF as experts in their warnings re Brexit, as statements of fact, please read and acknowledge that these same experts do not get their predictions correct all the time AND can make HUGE misjudgments.

My God that's a sad indictment on the IMF. I wonder if those Remainers that were quite happy to quote their doom laden predictions pre Brexit are quite so keen to espouse their impartiality and proffessionalism now?

Yes.There's trouble in store.Watch this space in the next couple of years.:winking:

As MG quite correctly pointed out, they appear to have got their prediction incorrect.
I'm more concerned with the bare faced lies from your glorious leaders which many gullible people swallowed as being factual. It doesn't matter to me too much, in fact the way my health has been getting worse these last couple of years, I'm overjoyed the NHS is better off by £350 million a week as I will have no need to feel guilty having to go to A and E any more.
Bielzibubz
President
Why in God's name would you feel guilty for using the NHS?
Oh dear Lord, how many more times are we going to revisit that £350m for the NHS quote? Shall we start a whole new thread about both sides as to who said what, when they said it and how it all turned out to be bollocks because I'm damn sure that'll run for far more pages than this one has. Remain campaigners lied too. We've got over it. I suggest you do to :smile:

I've said all along that the first figures for Q3 will be the ones to watch out for as an early indication of economic prospects under Brexit.Of course,they won't be out until early October.
The figures released for Q2 last week, which showed a welcome 0.6 increase in growth, (incidentally The Bank of England's forecast was 0.5,so not so far off), only included a one week post-Brexit snapshot,of course.

Certainly will be for you Europeans. What will Spain do when the likes of Holland and France vote out.

Don't think there's any realistic chance of France voting out.(Unless the FN came to power,which is extremely unlikely).I'm no expect on Dutch politics but I'd be suprised if there was even a refendum there.
Spain is still struggling to form a government and I predict further elections in November (making it 3 in a year).
In fact nothing much has changed anywhere yet since this excellent article in the FT (published the day after the referendum).

I have just spoken to Marine Le Pen and she is absolutely delighted you have given her no chance :winking:
Remember what happened here with UKIP. You don't have to win, You just have to threaten to win to force a referendum.

I think she'll probably make the second round (as her Dad did back in the day).But she's got no real chance of becoming President of France next year.Thank God.

I may have skimmed over it, but surely this news from SKG, that "The UK is still attractive post Brexit" is worth a mention
