Lots of sad people about saying silly things,
Someone said , I am not proud to say I am British.
It amazes me most of the people complaining are very very rich, what's there problem, maybe stocks and shares springs to mind

Osborn has not said any more about his emergency budget?
perhaps he will be carrying Cameron's suitcase for him?

A sad day.
I went to bed in Great Britain and woke up in Little England.
But the best thing we can do now is just try and make this work.

There's been enough sour grapes today to make a hell of a lot of wine.

Exactly.
'Ye of little faith'.
I have worked for some top sales organisations in my time.
People with negative attitudes were fired... or starved.

I am afraid to say Michael and you have mentioned it too, as long as i am alright i am not bothered,
Well we live in a democracy where we can vote but we must go with the majority, i was prepared to go with who ever won the vote and i would have worked hard to make the good times too,
If its going to be that bad here , well you can always move to the Philippines or anywhere else you may fancy ,
We all have a right to say what we want and i too have said before i dont feel this is a Great Britain, but i am still very proud to be called English

Ok End of Day 1, in Brexit world the facts:
1)The stock market finished the day only 1.9% down from trading began and ironically was a week high.
2) the £ against the $ fell 7% and against the Euro 5%. To be expected.
3) Germany Confirm that our trade agreements will remain and it would be mad to lose our special arrangement
4) France has confirmed they plan to keep the bilateral immigration treaty in place.
5) USA confirm we will still have a special relationship
6) Canada agree the same, saying UK and Europe are strong trade allies.
7) Martin Schulz an EU Chief admits the EU needs to reform
8) Holland, Italy, France and Denmark call for a referendum.
9) Eu citizens where ever they reside in the EU at the time of the referendum are protected under The 1969 Vienna Convention Section 70.
So the world hasn't fallen apart, the apocalypse didn't happen and once again Britain are leading in Europe.
Reform, Democracy and Freedom of Speech.

Simon, that's all very well to give us meaningless facts, but what will happen to our participation in the Eurovision Song contest?...

The 'elephant-in-room ' remains the issue of the 'Common Market' and UK membership (or not) of the European Economic Area.
Membership and access to the EU single market demands funding contribution to EU and free movement of labour.
Seems to be more than a bit crazy of to leave the EU then negotiate terms by agreeing to apply those EU rules people voted against.
We need some pretty slick and committed negotiators.
But where/ who are they ?

Having myself voted for to LEAVE - and despite my initial elation at the outcome - I'm now left feeling a bit like "piggy in the middle" ... owing to Myrna, my immediate family and (not least) practically the whole of the Scottish electorate choosing the status quo!
