Freedom from paying billions to the EU (30 billion since 23rd June)- freedom from paying for Scotland - could this day get any better?

It's like we've won the lottery of life.

Even on the errenous figures on the side of a bus, £30bn is 86 weeks. £13bn is a closer figure, and about £8bn is the correct figure, which compared with the level of trade with the EU is a tiny number

I'm relaxed too. Van order that's about to be placed may be Left Hand Drive (actually probably will be) but apart from that, no immediate changes

Remember to check the rules on registration and taxing it in the UK when you end up staying here full time rather than just popping back to Good ole Blighty.Wouldn't want you to get in trouble for keeping a foreign registered vehicle here full time and not taxing it in the UK..:D

They'll be registered to a foreign (EU) company, probably under a sale and leaseback agreement post-modification over the next 3-4 years, so no need to check, as that's covered under EU law. They will be allowed into the UK for the purpose they'll be used for, but flexibility here is key.

If the UK stays in/close to the single market (meaning full free trade in goods and services with even limited FoM to meet our requirements), at the end of the 3 year period, the replacements may be moved back, but somehow I doubt that will happen.

I said pre-referendum that this would happen, so it shouldn't be a surprise to you.

Not concerned in the slightest tbh.

If they want to be independent then get on with it.

Yes. I was initially shocked by the idea (at the time of the referendum), because I couldn't believe that the Scots didn't value hundreds of years of joint history between the countries that make up the United Kingdom, and saw the off-putting vitriol that poured out of the SNP towards the other parts of the UK. Before that I liked and admired the Scots.

To be honest, I've become used to the idea now, though, and it would be great not to see the SNP in Parliament again, for instance, for the UK not to have to hand over money to Scotland, and for the Scots to manage their own currency aligned to whatever they feel they can align it to (but not the Bank of England, of course). I feel sorry for Scots that do want to stay in the UK, but as long as the SNP kept being voted into power, it was clear to me that they would call for another (and another, and another) referendum at the slightest excuse. It's their whole raison d'être.

The northern islands that don't want to leave the UK would, of course, have to be given consideration and allowed to stay as part of the UK.

Heh, and here's me wondering why CK is bleating on about a van.
A van!
A bit of a come-down from the aircraft he was harping on about before.
Or is it just that they don't make LHD aircraft?

This is a saving in hard cash though. As for trade remember there's an imbalance. Further that the £ falls. The less profit that flows into the € zone. Likewise for people sending money home.

Well it'll be a shame if they go. But we can't carry on with this endless debate, so they really need to make their minds up.

We will pay a much smaller figure in future and lose next to no trade initially and then see trade accelerate on the back of the autonomy we will have under the hood.

Makes me laugh that you feel the EU is a place of safe economics and enterprise.

And to think that some people dismissed Leavers as 'little Englanders'. How wrong they could be.

Which I have already given the circumstances for. I'm not doing so again, and I'm not discussing my business affairs in any further detail than the information I have given already.

You (and a majority of Leave voters on this thread it seems) have far too much time on your hands
