    It’s not about satnavs. It’s all to do with accuracy for scientific purposes. However, as it happens I have a GPS unit that also uses Glonass and Galileo, it is very accurate indeed.

    Post Brexit, Britain will revert back to traditional values to draw in more tourism. Just like how all British dramas are period dramas, putting the horse before the car. Nothing important happened after the industrial revolution.

    The hipster trend, which started pre-brexit, was the upsurge in the regression of Britain back to its golden age. HS2 will be scrapped for steam trains, bowler hats will replace the top knot, moustache oil will outsell diesel, red phone boxes will replace mobile phones, ... more New Avengers than Marvel's Avengers.

    The great repeal bill will make it so.

    Meh - you cannot win them all but would be interesting to see who does get the business - will it be the best company for the job - or will it be Fritz's mate who gave him a backhander.

    Trade is being rebalance away from legacy industries.

    British tea, jam and biscuits will be at the heart of Britain's Brexit trade plans
