That's fine and all well and good but when Joey says "it'll all be fine in 4 or 5 years" is it wrong to ask him why? And is there anything to back this up? As a committed remainer I'm openly frustrated that the same evasion tactics deployed before rhe referendum are still being used to full effect all these years later!

We had a series of ‘experts‘, including the IMF, telling us before the referendum stating that everything would be terrible. We now have the same experts, including the IMF, saying that the U.K. will outperform the Eu and Germany. I happen to believe in our companies to prosper, you may not. No one really knows if we would have been better in or out of the Eu, financially. But what we do know is that if we make a mess of anything we can vote out our governing body, which we could not do with the EU. We can make decisions based on what we want, not what 27 other countries want.......

Well, when you make claims about how good it’s going to be....then you do, you know to support your argument. The economists think it’ll be a nightmare ranging from slightly bad to unbearably bad.

Personally, I don’t think anyone knows. But, I will say from my daily experience, trade through the Port of Liverpool has gone up drastically in the last couple of weeks. Working on Brexit for the last 2 years I complied a lot of data and it was evident that business had completely pulled the plug during the uncertainty.

But since the election,I’ve personally noticed a huge increase. The next quarter reporting will be interesting though as we’d have left.

However, i degrees, those are facts; it maybe beneficial if you post some

No my friend that was just a part of what I did professionally. I do my part in charity and hospital work, I also help run a food bank in a neighbouring town and am part of the SVP. No big deal, just doing my bit, and you?.....

Have you always been cynical and bitter, or has it come about due to some personal tragedy. Either way I hope you can come to terms with your problems and can find some form of happiness in life......

You are one patronising apologist....Cynical and bitter? no lad, I am happy with my current circs but that does not stop me from being what I am . Personal Tragedy? You dont know the half of it...so sit in your drunken state as you usually do and think about reality @Joey66 more sense than you..

I work in a small business ( consultancy basically, so calling it work is stretching the truth a bit ), and over the last 25 years or so, a large minority of the work we've done has involved the EU in some shape or form - some of it centrally funded. Since the Brexit vote, any new work has dried up, but there's the feeling of a bit if certainty in the air, and we're now being asked to quote against proposals again.

As it happens, we've moved away both from from that level of work and the geographical area, so we're not that arsed about chasing the work, but it does demonstrate that plenty of businesses will just get on with the new scenario. That's not belittling the situation, plenty of businesses will struggle, and some will go to the wall, which unfortunately will mean job losses, but I suspect the negative impacts forecast by some people won't be as bad as they think.

Equally, the benefits being pushed by the other side won't be as positive as they spin.

I've found the ignore feature to be a blessing on this forum. Can heartily recommend using it for at least one of the gammons on here

Must admit, I've not listened to Rainbow Bridge for beards !

I registered here while listening to a recording he did of Catfish Blues - not his greatest moment like, but it seemed appropriate forva name here. Genius is a massively overused adjective used for musicians, actors and sportspeople, but in Jimi's case, it describes him perfectly
