..to fall yet?

I believe that 11.00pm is the official time that Brexit happens :-D :-D :-D

No definitely not Allan :-D :-D :-D But I've got me red white and blue brolly up in case

Are you sure LG?

No little cracks? Stars all in their familiar positions?

I'm sure that I felt the earth move in Australia, well a little tremor actually, but that could be due to natural causes :-D :-D

Nothing will happen for a bit - the complete set of EU rules, laws rights and such will remain in place ( including any new EU laws) until 31 Dec 2020.
Of course the political side has ended so brexit for the moment means a lot of taxation and no representation.

The amount spent on brexit now exceeds UK contributions to the EU since we joined in the 70s. These sums will go on increasing for at least 20 years regardless of the upcoming talks.

Brilliant.

:-D :-D :-D Allan. It is either that or the remainers jumping up and down and throwing their toys :-D :-D :-D

:-D :-D :-D

I’m happy :-D :-D :-D :-D

Eu population ex UK 450million
Uk brexit population 30 million.

Sh it happens.

Allan and LaGooner :-D :-D

Allan, stop reading 'Chicken Licken'. :-D

No! :-P :-D :-D

I went to bed.

“Be humble in victory and gracious in defeat.” ? ( at least try!)

That is the right attitude Rose not spreading doom and gloom and protesting like some folk :-D. All the b******t from media won't change things , time will tell won't it :-D

Yep time will tell and (ever hopeful) we may be pleasantly surprised. Not that some of the remainers would ever admit it if we were. :-) :-) Time to move forward.

Today's Daily Mail is offering free Brexit Tea Towels. :-|

Doesn't take all that much time.

nuts

I'm sure I could find a use for one :-D

It is my belief that it is already in existence, Rollo. It's just that they don't check everything coming in as it would be impossibly time-consuming.

Perhaps they intend to do so now ..... but I doubt it.

Maybe the journo has got a bee in the bonnet? If so, Wakey Wakey!

Fake news as our erstwhile pal across the pond likes to call it? :-D

It was certainly in existence from 1975 until 1982, which is the length of time I carried out port health duties in Grimsby before leaving for Oz.

All Official Certificates were checked, particularly for any meat and meat products and samples taken for various teats.

Under the than existing legislation, we could either detain such products until we had the results, or let them go forward.

We could also let the product go forward, without checking it, but the local authority into which it was dur to go took on the role of 'Port Health Authority and became responsible for all checks etc..
