You sound like an angry little bitter and twisted person..

Sure, I'm angry. I love my country and 52% of the population just betrayed it & have done a great damage to it.

If you ever get over the xenophobia then you'll be angry at what the leavers did to our once great nation.

Sometimes people are too over confident in their own abilities. When their personal circumstances are little more than good fortune.

Your Country does not exist under the EU, it is split in to regional provinces of the EU.
I will list them for you :
Scotland:
Ireland North
Wales.
North West
North East
Yorkshire and Humber
East Midlands
West Midlands
London
South east
South West

There isn't one for England, they "dont do England"

Japanese car manufacturers only built in the UK because we were in the EU. After the vote they wanted guarantees that there would be no tariffs or changes to free movement, they appear to have gotten them. I doubt they'll stay much past brexit.

If the future is indeed electric. Then the whole industry together with it's supply chain will undergo a sizeable shakedown. Remember Polaroid, Xerox and Kodak. Many probably don't. Technology moves on.

The fact that they have "tariffs" on imports is why it is one big crock of "sh*t"
It is protectionism, even the Japanese cars built here mainly crap Euro built engines as they have to use EU made parts.

Without tariffs, we will be able to import and buy real Japanese cars, they drive on the same side of the road as us, they are cheap without EU tariffs and they are a damned sight better built and more reliable than anything built by either the French or Germans.

If that's the case why are German cars so popular and why do people pay way over the odds for the badge?

Because the owners are suggestible w*ankers who have no taste and who totally believe all advertising. They are common as muck and are simply volume cars, like a Mondeo. Nazi staff cars, but volume cars nonetheless. I am always surprised, when I see a Horch convertible, that there is nobody standing up in the back giving the Hitler salute. They are popular with stupid suggestible people who believe a car should be styled like a washing machine.

Japanese cars were regarded as crap 30 years ago and still avoided by a lot of people currently driving large BMW or audis.

No they weren't. Japanese cars have been invincibly reliable since the year dot. The Datsun 240Z goes for £30k, a contemporary BMW 2002 that cost more then struggles to make half that. It's basically the same shape repeated for 50 years. Who cares what drivers of Basildon Man's Wheels think anyway? In the 80s these clowns drove the Ford Capri and look how many of those still exist.

I believe Phil was referring to himself in his own post, the irony is delicious.

it was always intended to be a bit more than that, but even if it turned into more than we wanted, the UK was pushing for expansion until very recently.

The politicians were pushing for enlargement. Then in 2016 Dave asked the people what they wanted to do. The answer was clear.

What crisis?

And no, our products are selling in the EU better than they were before the referendum. Due to having great ideas and selling them well rather than exchange rates or potential tariffs.

Logistics software and hardware in case you're wondering.

Tricky I am delighted to hear that the Brexit Crisis is not effecting you in a negative way. It is super news that your exports to the EU have increased and it also sounds like you have increased margins due to the devaluation of Sterling.
Great to hear real time data from the coal face.
Thank you.

Just got back form Italy and there certainly is a fair amount of dissatisfaction there based purely on conversations I had, although people I spoke to were surprised we voted to leave as in their eyes we had a much better deal than they had, no getting away from the fact that the Euro has been "problematic" to say the least for countries like Italy.

I hope you had a good time in Italy. Where did you go. Italy is a very large Country and saying visiting Italy is like saying visiting Britain.
Italy is a beautiful Country but they also have a North/South divide just like Britain and or England.
