OT. The futures Bright, the Futures Brexit!!!

I get all that Andy and, without taking sides, I've consistently maintained that it's always been the case that most of the electorate were insufficiently well informed and misled (by both sides) to make a meaningful decision.
Nothing about that has changed, but what is truly alarming is that we now have those who are supposedly informed and are, in some cases, responsible for overseeing the Brexit process suggesting that they don't yet know what is involved and what the consequences will be. Can't remember anything quite as absurd or potentially dangerous.

On a personal level I can relate to it, because I made a similar leap into the dark 27 years ago. My equivalent of Brexit is my enduring relationship with Mrs F. Sometimes you just gotta take a chance!

Suspect it wasn't either an 'arranged marriage' or a complete 'leap into the unknown' though Andy. You must surely have quite liked what you saw, had more than an inkling of what you were getting and the feelings were presumably reciprocated before you uttered 'I do' and signed on the bottom line. Not entirely comparable then.

OK lets examine your simile a little closer Andy:

The EU costs us millions a day, your missus is quite possibly a tad cheaper, although maybe not in relative terms;

When we joined the EU it was a "shopping partnership" which has evolved into something far more unified; when you got married it probably started as something far more unified but is now probably about shopping more than anything;

When we joined the EU there were a limited numbers of partners which have escalated beyond predictable levels - your marriage possibly has not allowed this (or at least so far as she knows);

When you first got married you had no wish to pull out, hence children ensued. Now with maturity and ED, pulling out is no longer and option as entry is generally neither permitted not practical?

One of the reasons I voted remain is that voting leave meant entry would have been barred for ever

Blimey Roger...that last paragraph seems very telling. Can see why you want to change your pseudonym to 'More than 50 years'. Given your observations 'Ramjet' no longer seems so fitting.

[roger_ramjet]

Roger Limpjet?

Roger Limpjet?

Not even sure you can hang onto 'Roger' and 'jet' anymore...all so 'rigid', but you are still a 'Ram'...of sorts. Might have to be a case of Reggie Ramdribble.
