The brexit is the worst, since the music of modern talking.
I hope little britain will be back soon.
Meanwhile there is time to learn driving the car on the right side and how to cook.
The rest is perfect....  ;D

BREXIT caused a fair amount of documentation work for us due to changing approval agency offices. We had to change from England* to offices in Ireland and Italy. I haven't heard much of anything about UKIP or whatever it is for additional approval work. I don't know if we are skipping it because England is too small a market to deal with, the customers will just go with EU approvals, or some other solution. Maybe we will go for that also eventually. My conclusion is that some amount of engineering work has now permanently moved from England to the EU, and even if England joins back in that work will stay where it is.

* Short for whatever the UK is supposed to be.

Sadly this seems to be the case, hard won business presences have left the UK or just closed because of Brexit and I don't think they'll come back.

There have been a few significant 'wins' which are crowed about by the Brexiters but when you dig into the details it's usually because the plans predated Brexit and it would have been nonsensical to do outside the UK anyway, business 'wins' tend to be 'in spite of' rather than 'because of' Brexit.

It's going to be a hard few decades and I think if/when we rejoin the EU we'll have to fully commit, Euro (which I think is idiotic unless taxation etc. are all unified) and all.

I agree Brexit is bad for business, but what's to say there still will be an EU, in a few decades? There are anti-EU movements in other countries too.

So you poked your eyes out when you were in your teens because you might go blind in later life?
