As you will notice I am on between 10.30-11 and 1.30-2 ie tea break. You ok with that. Unlike you whom seems to be online all day. Nice 'work' if you can get it.

I've been retired some years and just do a bit of part-time teaching work to stop me from becoming bored.

You see I took advantage of the opportunities that came my way, worked hard and retired early :)

Absolutely the UK should be capable to implement anything required to operate as an independent country, if it's a tough job then so be it, that to me doesn't seem an immediate reason not to have voted leave, nor a reason to say we have been duped.

If we are currently running to near capacity in terms of our infrastructure, then it shouldn't be insurmountable to continue to do it after exiting, you have identified timing issues, well we will see but this isn't the priority for me nor should this effect the eventual withdrawal from happening.

As for trade you can find economists that feel it problematic and those that don't, likewise Remainers cannot see anything other than problems in just about anything whilst they look at Brexiteers as either eternal optimist (basically daft) or more likely just thick.

I think the UK will remain a strong and progressive trading nation outside of the EU and don't immediately see the disadvantage of being an independent trading nation as opposed to being in a wider bloc, why wouldn't a recipient country to the UK of trade of goods and services not quickly and decisively agree to a continuation of trade if it is mutually beneficial ?

You carry on talking sense like this You’ll be sent to see Matron..

Quite. And [MENTION=5101]BigGully[/MENTION] offers nothing but vague wishy washy comments like “business will sort itself out” so I do wonder what his experience is. Be nice if he could explain why but he never ever does.

It's better to be slightly more cautious as to what the economic future might deliver rather than stating the economy is in 'recession', that 'unemployment is rising', that 'we will soon be a third world country' and 'our economy is tanking' when it clearly isnt.

Otherwise you just become pointless liars, don't ya Nibble.

I remember a previous time when you started calling a poster a liar and that didn't work out well.

I can see this going the exactly the same way :lolol:

The 'imagination' was in relation to me generally trading successfully for 35+ years throughout most economic eras, double digit interest rates and inflation, recession, boom, financial crisis and property boom and crash whilst trying to stay solvent and profitable, it's challenging and you needn't be trading overseas for it not to be valid, the implication was how in comparison why couldn't the UK be able to succeed in solving it's own 'problems' in a post Brexit Britain.

I’m sure you can appreciate that some businesses are less exposed to these pressures than others. So until you tell us what it is you do I can’t really comment.

Crucially, we also examined what the likely impact of Brexit was for SMEs. We found that Brexit is likely to result in lower levels of capital investment, reduced access to external finance, reduced innovative activity and lower levels of growth. Future plans for capital investment within innovative SMEs seem particularly likely to be affected.


Evidently, this study shows that Brexit is having a material effect on the behavioural expectations of entrepreneurs and managers within SMEs. Worryingly, these perceived negative effects appear to be foremost in the minds of entrepreneurs located in the types of innovative and export-oriented companies, often viewed as the high growth “superstars” of tomorrow. In other words, firms thought most significant for boosting productivity and economic growth have the gravest reservations about Brexit for their future success.
SMEs with high export activity remain worried about the effect of Brexit on their business.

In future, the rather incoherent and intransigent “no deal is better than a bad deal” negotiating stance of the current UK government coupled with the high political opacity surrounding Brexit will most certainly prolong, and even amplify, uncertainty levels in businesses of all sizes. This protracted process is very likely to be detrimental to the country’s economy, especially in the short to medium term.

Prior to the EU referendum, the pro-Brexit UK politician Michael Gove famously declared (in his denunciation of the overwhelming majority of economists who warned of the potential economic damage caused by Brexit) “that people in this country have had enough of experts”. Based on the findings of our study, it appears that the “experts” may have got it right.
