    With all of the infrastructure set up to work as an EU member state - I wonder what the cost in time and money of changing this infrastructure is going to be (ignoring other affects of leaving)? I feel that we would eventually get to a good place, but worry that it will take a couple of decades to get back to where we were.

    what infrastructure needs changing?

    I guess I am making a bit guess that there is major infrastructure in place for EU workers and business - also changing thousands of existing processes sounds costly.

    Surely you do not think that we can make changes without an impact on the purse?

    I was merely asking what infrastructure is being spoken about.

    I'm sure there will be a lot of paperwork to do.

    Fair enough :)

    I work in the legal sector so good business either way (that can be my selfish positive!), but I do fear for the country as a whole until I see some concrete plans in place.

    The good news about Brexit gets better.

    Europe does for another political career - Nigel Farage!

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-36702468

    So of the three amigos, Boris, Farage and Gove, only Gove is left standing.

    Unfortunately out of all of them he is the one that is most dangerous toward my own interests. Farage was never electable, Boris already started massively backtracking on the leave campaign issues. Gove seems like a power hungry weasel and will do anything to get it.

    A separate queue for British passport holders only at airports :D
    Happiness is buying an item and then not checking its price after a month to discover it was reduced further.

    It really doesn't bother me and I really can't understand why everyone's getting worked up about it? When the pounds weak Politicians tell us it's good for our Exports, when it's strong they say it shows how it shows Britain's got a strong Economy.

    In February 1985 the pound was virtually par with the USD. Six years later in February 1991 they're were nearly two USD's to the pound. I don't remember the sky falling in during that time!
