Inevitably the conversation turned to Brexit on our recent trip around friends and family.

I was truly shocked by some of the reasons why people voted either way. The best by far was a chap worried about his Serbian friend who had lived in Britain for 17 years and both he and his friend  were worried he would have to go back.

The country is now so fractured that a second referendum won't  fix anything. It will be like a dog with paralysed back legs.
The biggest joke on mankind is that computers have started asking humans to prove that they aren't a robot.

I find it hard to understand why some seem to think that Europe is the centre of the universe.  :-\
It ain't. But as our most important trading partner, and being a key part of increased wealth of the nation, sometimes a pragmatic view is equally worthy as a pure idealistic one.

With respect though TB like most 'remainers' you're looking at the present and the short term future. It seems to me that very few 'remainers'  take a long term view of Britain's future within the EU.

As to the ideological tag that can equally be used for the remainiacs.  :)

Not to worry, Sir Tig.

With Mrs May at the helm like a modern day Boudica everything is under control. :)

The leave voters will all be dead by the time this gets sorted and I personally (would have) voted based on the option that best secures my employment and least impacts the areas of business I know and understand

If you didn't vote, you cannot complain. I wonder how many so called remainers actually bothered to vote...

Don't fall for this modern day crap, it's Boadicea. And there are five continents, not seven.

Oh, and it's Hercules, not Heracles.

"Boadicea" came about as a mis-reading of the original document; it IS Boudica and the erudie Dr. Opti is correct. :y 8)

I wonder how many who didn't vote were sent to Europe at the last minute to resolve a technical issue in a French factory supplying items for British builds....and therefore missed the opportunity through no fault of their own.

You really are quite the jumped up prick (to much of the time)  ;D ;D

Your post would be more complimentary to the good doctor if you could actually spell erudite.  ;D

Yes....Boudica is correct. Perhaps in around AD 60 in what is now named Liverpool they called her something else. ::) ::) ::)

Rumour has it she was worried the scousers would nick the wheels off her chariot. ;)

I can spell erudite, but my keyboard cannot - ut's dyslexic. :(

Complimentary and complementary often get confused.

Ut is, is ut ?

I hoped that you would have realised that the "typo" was deliberate, for comic effect.
A Londoner would have understood.....

We all have our moments...

It was actually a royal 'you'. My point being that people are quick to complain as long as they don't have to actually do anything.
