    Maybe but we don't care because we will be free of the muppets in the Commission. Get over it.

      The voters know what they voted for and deserve to get it good and hard.

            Unless we put a bunch of muppets in charge of negotiations (and sadly that's always a possibility) trade negotiations should be a breeze. I see it going something like this:
            Germany: Hello UK, we want you to keep buying our cars and no tariffs.
            UK: No probs with that. You might need to beat the crap out of the French before they agree though.
            Germany: Oh, no, not again.....

                You say that but this article from a week ago says otherwise.

                Sometimes your line of work just goes quiet for a while. Mine has before.

                Or maybe people think you're pro-EU and they are avoiding you?

                  Excuse me? Excuuuuuuuuse me?

                  I'm on over £1600 a day on dev. It's the top of the food chain as far as I am concerned. What are you? Some kind of lowly scummy BA? Or (worse) a Project Manager?

                    Boris upsets Italian with the truth about Prosecco.

                    I love Italy but the Italians can be a bit temperamental. Still, someone needs to point out the facts to the individual EU states of the result of their masters' adherence to principles.

                    And just a reminder of who buys most prosecco.

                    We also buy the most Champagne but Boris hasn't got round to explaining that to the French. Yet.

                      A bit duplicitous with your headlines...
                      We don't buy the most prosecco but we are the largest export market for it. The biggest buyers of prosecco are the Italians.
                      …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore
