    I notice it in my direct surroundings, where many EU financed research companies are based. Mostly top level educated Germans, French,Italian and Dutch nuclear scientists are leaving because of brexit, the increased racism as a result and fear subsidies for their jobs will be culled. I'm sure the brexiteers love to go back to Victorian times and go back to the coal fuelled steam age.

    Also I see in some Facebook groups, I am member of, that many EU nationals are packing their bags.
    Just read some of the comments on this article and you see why: https://www.theguardian.com/commenti...ship-uk-brexit
    A Deloitte study, published this week, reveals that nearly half of all highly skilled EU workers could leave the UK within five years.

      Do you know why strawberries are called strawberries? Well neither did I until recently after growing some myself.

      I found that the berries were getting attacked by woodlice and, after consulting one of the many fonts of knowledge on matters horticultural in my local, it turns out that you need to have a layer of straw for the fruiting bodies to rest on. The woodlice and other critters, you see, don't like straw as they can't crawl over it.

      And it's this practice of using straw in this manner that gives rise to the name strawberry.

      I should have known that being a Somerset girl!



      Do you also know that milk comes from cows?

        Could never work out what he was doing working for the Independent. Perhaps it wasn't such a rabid lefty rag back then.

                Carry on as you are. The trouble is the jobs will go with them, so it won't help you move up the food chain.
