    Maybe he's one of Dublin, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Paris or Luxembourg. They see opportunities.

    You see problems, I see opportunities. You can spend the rest of your life bemoaning the changes to your poor little snowflake world or you can go out there and make the best of the opportunities that will arise.

    Either way, a day trip to France won't be off the cards, it might just require a couple of extra hoops to jump through.

    However, if you feel you're not up to it, then you just stay put and bitch about it.

    An obvious fantasy on your part, when they wouldn't even allow you near a cutting edge to peel the spuds. At least you got to mop the floor.

    I would really like to see a dray horse attempting to peel potatoes.

    Nah, I was too busy repairing and maintaining the cutting edge military comms equipment.

    That’s not very nice. Turns out he has a mate who once applied to be in the TA. His mate’s phone stopped working one day and Sean switched it off and on again. Hey presto, career repairing military comms equipment.

    Almost right, but actually there are 3 types of people in this world ....

    - Those that have actually served their country (not you)
    - Those that WISHED they had served their country (you)
    - Those that never felt the need to serve in the army as they know they have the skills and ability to be independent and not need to live by following orders of others (most of the rest of us)

    You're welcome

    Now that the prospect of a real Brexit is fading, maybe the imaginary EU superstate's imaginary army's imaginary catering corps will need an imaginary ex serviceman.
