    Someone thinks we get most of our tea and coffee from the EU? :)

    Whichever way the British people vote, will result in us all getting f**ked in the a$$.
    The difference is whether we get violated dry (leave) or with lube (stay in)

    A fairly accurate analogy I think.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    What ever happens, most of the E.U. think we are a bigger bunch of nobs than they did before. Which is amazing as most people thought the British were a fairly humongous set of nobs as it was.

    My Mum's 89 and she voted In!!!

    Well actually I sorted her postal vote for her as she said ''just vote Labour for me''
    So that's 3 in votes from over 60's in our (extended) household :)

    Eh? That's completely the British way! People have thought we're nobs for the last 1,000 years and we've just said "Meh. Whatevs".

    Well, our poll was wrong to say the least.

    What are people's views now? I can tell you first and foremost, the world is still spinning. We haven't died, and Armageddon isn't upon us, so you're ok there.

    No our poll was right - the sample who wanted made their point.

    Me - I don't care; the one that counts - who is 12 is still sleeping!

    The worst part of the Leave vote is not economical, immigration, blah blah it is the fact that we are going to have to endure even more of that Farage bloke on our TVs.

    The way I see it is that he's effectively made his job redundant. He was the head of the Independence Party. Once we're independent, we won't need him!

    He is/was already redundant.
    No need for him to be in the media at all.

    I agree, I wanted to stay but am optimistic that leaving does give us new choices, but there are gonna be some proper cnuts like Farage jumping on the bandwagon thinking that they are something special

    But isn't Farage just like a football player subbed as his team are losing and then they win? (John Terry like).
    ie, better without him. Please get shot, or at least remind him of this. Constantly.

    The currency will sort itself out soon enough. It hasn't dropped as much as some predicted (the reason it dropped so far is because it was raised by people 'betting' on a Remain win, pushing it up to $1.50, meaning it fell further than if it had just been on the $1.46 it had been on). Pretty sure the markets will recover soon enough.

    Facebook is pointless, I honestly would believe we'd just condemned ourselves to death. There's now a call for a second election... I'm not sure these people understand a democratic process. "We'll vote until we get what we want!"

    Scotland's the biggest worry. That could fark everything up.

    As it's going to take a few years by the time we sort it all out and leave there is a good chance that there are more people alive that voted to stay in than there are that voted to leave.

    So once you reach a certain age your vote becomes less important/valid because the repercussion/result effects you for a lesser time. I thought one of the EU's value was equality etc.

    Well, that's British manufacturing screwed.
    My job (along with 309 others) will be moved to Germany by the end of the year.
    So much for protecting UK jobs. All it's done is saved the eastern European workers travelling all the way over here by forcing businesses who rely on imports and exports to reconsider whether the UK is the right place to be.
    Never mind, I've got a few shares to keep me going a while. I wonder how the stock markets are doing.....
