    You might not if we'd stayed.

    "Youth" employment figures in a lot of EU states is shocking.

    Clearly yet another "brexit" wind-up post. I'm almost tempted to engage with the points you raised and the smarmy last sentence but I think I'll bow out now and go peel the spuds instead.

    OK, let's say they are.

    I presume all these clever remainers who are educated in such things are now going to stop whining and tell the rest of us how they plan on averting this great doom we have coming ?

    Yes you are an idiot, you said it, not me!

    Anyway, it's all the doom and gloom mangers who keep talking GB down, so if you think it's all going down the pan then it will.

    Real entreprneurs, like Dyson are very much pro BREXIT.

    Let's face it no one is right or wrong. And if you can't we lower house prices as a good thing well tough luck. Just embrace the change, no one likes it especially us oldies but thst I'd how it is, get with the program, let's toss a pebble into the pond and see where the ripples land.

    Good luck, fj

    Real Entrepreneurs don't give you Rip off products that are not worth the price. Hardly think Dyson is the majority.


    You also realise, buying a house is more than just the house price right? How you going to buy a house if your company decides to relocate to an E.U Country or worse close or cut down on jobs?


    How about ACTUALLY getting a mortgage. Who knows the rules may once again change and make it more stringent than the last MMR.

    But not all of them. Even they were, why would the problem suddenly migrate over the channel when it hasn't so far?

    Because we were not integrating like the other states were and were not part of the Eurozone.

    A stay vote would have resulted in pressure to do so.

    Anyway, it's a moot point. We'll never find out.

    What a ridiculous comment. House prices don't fall in isolation, something causes them. That cause is usually something bad that makes it more difficult for many to buy. Why don't we just wait and see what happens.
    Don't listen to me, I'm no expert!
