    I'd have prefered not to be right though.
    Interesting times ahead.

    Let's hope the remainers don't "take out their disappointment by smashing up shops, hospitals and schools."

    If we do, can we claim disaster relief from the EU? :question:

    Democracy at its finest.

    I was very surprised by the vote, but pleasantly surprised. Exciting and scary times ahead but I think it's the right decision, well done people!

    Jeez. Months wasted on this question and now a few years wondering what the next waste of time questions will be.

    I've got a meeting this morning to sell an imported product which has just increased in price by a goodly amount and the client isn't interested in a price increase.

    I hope everyone likes spuds, onions and turnips.

    But by them I suspect the consequences will be realised by those that supported this crazy decision, higher prices, higher interest rates and a few employers confirming their relocation etc.

    You might be surprised to hear it but some of us would still be ecstatic at the decision even if all those things happened.

    A massive Up Yours to the politicians etc who tried their best to scare the public into remaining in what was never any more than an economic (& increasingly political) union most of us never voted to belong to.

    Sky news trying to find out if market will actually open. No answer as yet.
    Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

    I don't doubt that.

    But a significant chunk of leave supporters will be furious and feel they have been conned, to put it mildly.

    Yep.

    I think Monday Morning will be a very interesting morning.

    Stock markets are in free fall. The derivative markets are getting gutted with the brexit uncertainty.

    Word that Deutsche Bank has fired 3,000 employees effective immediately is a clear indication that the largest derivative holder in the world has just been GUTTED.

    They are basically the German central bank, they have €75 trillion in toxic derivatives, and they have admitted silver manipulation and the best part is they have grassed on other criminals involved in the manipulation to try to get a lighter punishment for their involvement.

    Silver has not been this high for a while, could this be it?
    Nothing has been fixed since 2008, it was just pushed into the future

    Ah, a silver hat. So much more stylish than a tinfoil one.
