    Even I won't quote from it


    Yes, the title kind of gives it away..."House prices suffered record drop in 2008" ;)

    Real Brexit, configured as the people who voted for it probably imagined, was never likely.

    Really? So before we got involved life just didn`t exist in the UK? People who quote travel etc. being more difficult years ago forget (conveniently?) that there were political dimensions at play in a lot of cases, and things like travel can be made very smooth if the various countries want to do it, we can still all be sovereign nations, however I WANT to be checked out when I cross borders, not just able to waltz through, it makes me feel SAFER.

    Why am I unsurprised that you really don't even begin to understand anything more than a Daily Mail summary, Crashy?

    Let's start with... clue: Schengen.

    So May abandoned her vote at the last minute because her deal was more likely? What kind of deal do you think they can cobble together to avoid a "Hard Brexit"?

    I will quote from my own post, as you obviously didn`t read it :(


    "however I WANT to be checked out when I cross borders, not just able to waltz through, it makes me feel SAFER. "


    Do you understand how the fact that "Leave" won means that many many people are comfortable with being checked out at passport control, AND want to feel that other people are being equally scrutinized?

    Thank you for removing any doubt that you don't actually begin to understand the difference between the EU and Schengen.

    Something will be cobbled, as none of the people who matter wants Brexit.
