The Pound has fallen against other currencies and is still struggling to recover - good for others, but not so much for me. But here we are! I'm actually not as disappointed as I was a couple of weeks ago if I'm honest.<br /><br />Hi Jolie - one of those would be me, actually! :P I (still) don't feel particularly well informed and think I could definitely have done more research prior to the vote. But then, I haven't lived with the EU for 40 years, so I think I can be forgiven to a point.<br /><br />Hi Jane - I was quite confident that we would remain, so I suppose that's partly why I was so disappointed. As I said above, though, I'm not as disappointed as right afterwards now. I'm much more philosophical about it all. And what a turn up for the books, to have the two Leave proponents quit like that so soon afterwards. Interesting times lie ahead!Northern Living Allowancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06663851212929175711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6698917025069184978.post-79222596254458013862016-07-07T19:02:18.544+01:002016-07-07T19:02:18.544+01:00When I went to bed the "remainers" were ...When I went to bed the "remainers" were in the lead, so i was quite surprised when I got up the next day to find out that the "leavers" won! I never truly believed it would work out that way. It will be interesting, from my safe viewpoint, to see how this mess all unfolds over the next months and years. Apparently the "leavers" can drag out the process for quite a long time.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02803104035204416080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6698917025069184978.post-50593584916932056212016-07-02T15:48:48.760+01:002016-07-02T15:48:48.760+01:00I think what surprised me the most was how many vo...I think what surprised me the most was how many voted (or didn't) without really understanding what the concept was.Joliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05031816661748376856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6698917025069184978.post-78254060171643033282016-06-28T20:28:22.290+01:002016-06-28T20:28:22.290+01:00It doesn't involve me as a Canadian but I have...It doesn't involve me as a Canadian but I have to admit...
