    Oh look, today in the Times. "No-deal plans accelerated amid recession fears... Yesterday the pound fell to its lowest level against the euro for a decade after it emerged that Britain’s economy had shrunk for the first time in seven years." I do hope you*'ll all be alright.

    I'm not entirely convinced that is the case. It could mean that we're affected worse post-Brexit.

    What about the vast majority that can't find the shelter and is in open field!?
