    And yet if we'd went in to a recession it would be "because Brexit"

    Of course we will. Its all part of the economic cycle. We will have recessions whether we're in the EU or not. We've had willfully bad recessions whilst inside the EU but i'm sure that will all be forgotten, and any EU state - such as Germany - in recession in the future well we'll just keep our heads down on that because it doesnt really fit with Because Brexit. ;)

    I presume this wasn't an estate or SUV, but a saloon?

    Yes, i fully expect every down turn or failure for the next 20 years by anybody to be Because Brexit.

    And there will be a 6 day shut down at Honda. Yes because Brexit. Assurances were made t9o car manufacturers that the Government cannot keep. I said at the time to friends that the Government were writing cheques they had no intention of cashing
