Thanks for all your thoughts re OldDog, it was a stroke which took her at the grand old age of 16 but it was still a shock, I still have LittleyDog although she is also looking a bit lost this week.

Sorry to hear that.

One person's view of the Brexit vote.

The "biggest losers" so far today seem to be a bunch of over-privileged bankers who used other people's money to gamble on the result of a match .... expecting to become even richer/millionaires from what they saw as a "sure thing".

Biggest loser I've heard is a guy who phoned lbc radio months ago to say he'd bet £200k on remain to win just £68k. Wiped out all his savings on a "sure bet" he reckoned.

Either he's a loon who will now be sectioned and have a home for life ... or, he was actually loaded and while the £200k is a bit of a nuisance he'll forget it soon enough.

Never liked Boris, thought he was a right tw4t, always ignored anything he did/said etc, but I was in the room while he made a speech and he actually sounded sane and reasonable. Good speech, even if it was only 4 people that clapped when he'd finished.

Odd angry blonde woman has been speaking like a drunk on the BBC... she's on the table with a blue jacket on.

Bitter, angry, doesn't know when to let go. Really showing herself up.

Looks like the sort of person nobody'd ever want to work with, or be on a committee with. I bet the ladies at the local flower club hate it when she turns up (looks the sort for the WI/flower club).

EDIT: Anna Soubry I've discovered it is.... took me this long (7+ hours).

I was listening to Radio Five overnight (your time) and there were some very angry Remainiacs sounding very tired and emotional at about 5am. There was a young man who I thought was about to kick off at one point!

4-5am your time really was Peak Leave. It was amazing. I have never, ever seen a major currency fall like the pound did against the Dollar and the Yen today. GBP v JPY went from being down 7% to being down 15% in about 30 minutes. The team Grad and I sat and watched it for about a quarter hour. Amazing to watch the world catch fire like that.

Market movement's more about gambling and bets though ... normal people wouldn't notice anything happening. Lidl still opened this morning .....

Some people who avoided the group think that it just couldn't happen maust have made a lot of money.
