    Remoaner is a valid term imho. It describes a particular type of person who voted Remain and won't accept the result.

    For example, I voted remain but I'm not a remoaner.

    There may always be Remoaners, I guess we all have to get used to that - just like we have to get used to The Scottish Nats - who are still moaning despite having a referendum.

    My way of dealing with remoaners is to use the Ignore button.

    I don't personally know of anyone who voted remain but hasn't accepted the result. The use of remoaner on this thread is clearly either out of sheer stupidity or used to insult.

    Its just dull that's what it is. A tired repetitive mantra by people that are as just as bad winners, as they are losers.
    Proudly voted remain. A global union of countries is the only way to commit global capital to the rule of law.

    I accept the result.

    I don't necessarily agree with it, nor do I necessarily think it's a good idea, but I accept the result.

    I also accept the views of Leave voters. Again, I don't necessarily agree with them, and haven't necessarily taken any notice of them, but I accept and respect them. Some will note that I do agree with some opinions though.

    The more we are able to see something from someone else's perspective, the more dimension and depth it gives to our own.

    Why would they?

    There are other countries that aren't in the customs union where the procedures are extremely simple for both import and export.

    New report out today raising their 2017 UK GDP forecast from 1% to 1.5%.

    So, which organisation is so bold as to increase its forecast by 50% in just 3 months?

    I agree and I am not a remoaner either. But that does not seem to stop people saying I am. Are you sure that you are not seen as a remoaner by some?

    What is the evidence that an increase in sales is due to Brexit (which of course has not happened?)

    I'm beginning to think that a 'remainer' is someone who hasn't been PPR'd from this Forum!

    About time too ( to the last bit about apprentices and recruiting Uk graduates - they,ve paid enough for the their degrees they deserve to be rewarded! )

    I agree its a positive sign that wages might begin to rise, not sure that the firms concerned have much choice but to do the things you quote.

    The test will be how much they can absorb and how much they need to pass on in higher prices. It may not matter for exports given the lower £ but how will the home market react?
