Nothing to worry about, that's just a little confirmation bias on your part. ;)

I'm quite a happy Brexiteer right now.

Same here; everything is going to plan (cue remoaning "but there is no plan....:sleep:"). Now, just one little adjustment at the BoE and we're sorted :)

Looks like Mystic Mr K and his crystal balls has got it wrong ;)

But you don't know what you're getting do you ? It could be anything from all but EU membership in name, to total head in the sand isolationalism. But as long as you're happy, that's good I guess :)

And as long as you're coming along for the ride (which you are) we're ecstatic :) Liberté, Equalité, Fraternité.

We're the global finance centre of a world that speaks our language, we are tapped in to trade links that connect us to just about everywhere and we travel with a passport that gives us visa-free access to more places in the world than almost any other.

Do you seriously think "isolationism" is anywhere on the range of possible outcomes when we leave an association comprising just 27 out of the 195 other countries in the world?

On reflection let's stay in the EU where, after decades of banging our heads against a wall, we can see quite clearly the financial and social chaos which lies around the corner yet won't be able to do anything about it. Now that's a really good idea eh?... :rolleyes:

The only thing we ain't happy about is numpties who keep saying we aren't happy and are regretting voting out

Ah but don't you know that once we leave the EU it will immediately become the utopia it was always meant to be

I haven't met anyone who regrets voting out. I only know of one on this forum who did it as a "protest" vote. Is it people like him who you are referring to a numpties?

That's evidently what some deluded folk are clinging to by way of reasoning. :D

I haven't regretted my vote either FWIW and don't know anyone else who has.

No ,people like Mr K constantly banging on about how much we regret voting out

Although using a referendum as a protest vote does meet the criteria of numptyism

TBH, I was never happy with the way the government appeared to be trying to keep Parliament out of the process when one of the big selling points of the leave campaign was returning control from some unelected "elite" to our Parliament. Bear in mind that Theresa May, while elected, was not the leader of the party during the last election, so it's doubtful most of the people who voted for her were thinking about her being Prime Minister when they voted, so she cannot claim she was voted in as Prime Minister any more than any leader of the EU can claim to have been voted in.

We don't vote for a prime minister though
