I only came back to pass my driving test (did it last week) and to pay off the money my parents loaned me to move our stuff to Germany. I thought it would be better to earn in pounds to pay them off but now it will be easier if I earn money in Euros and convert it.

Think of me in a couple of years time when you have no worker's rights, no job security, poor wages and very little annual leave. I'll be going back to having 30 days annual leave, not including bank holidays, decent pension contributions and will be earning at least a third more.

Just to ensure you don't come running back.

My husband is Scottish. We were living in Germany during the last referendum. We'd like to be back for the next one to help Scotland gain its freedom.

Nothing you can do about that I'm afraid Smile

I've been living in London for 15 years and could probably apply for citizenship, but I don't care much for dealing with British bureaucracy and anyway - I have family in EU and might want to move there at some point, so I'd rather keep my EU passport.

I'm curious to see what my employers will do, in order to keep their staff, the majority of which is from EU, as is the case with most London restaurants. Even now a restaurant has to pay someone £1000 (more if it's an agency), for recommending someone at my level (which is by no mean high), to work there for at least 3 months. I guess, once Brexit is ratified - the British are going to have to get off their a**es and start doing the jobs they can't be f*cked to do now.

Alright, that's great. I wish you and Mathilda luck on your adventures.

Enjoy your trash talk, while you can. That's pretty much all you've "won". I'm glad you're so easy to placate.

Trash talk? Well the luck thing was genuine.

But thanks. I shall.

It's hard to put my feelings into words today. So here's a totally unrelated video.

Just as expected - the old f*cks voted to leave, because what do they care? At least they'll be able to trumpet their "sovereignty" for their last few remaining years. I feel sorry for young people in this country, though...
