1) Seeing all the UKIP voters spending their summer holidays working in the fields, just like the good old days.
2) Watching the British politicians trying to sort out the current mess this country is in, without having the EU to blame for it., and watching the right wing media find another bogey man to blame for all our problems.
3) Hopefully kicking back in heaven, because I will be long gone before we actually see a successful Brexit.
Cheers Jak

Going to Europe on hols to find an even less thinly veiled hatred between Brits and everyone else.

Fighting the local lord's hounds for a scrap of fox meat.

Actually, last time I ordered bike parts from the US the import tax and 'carriage' was eye watering, maybe one day that can go away. However if we end up with the same tariffs on Euro parts that will suck camel wang.
And now, Harry, let us step out into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure.

They send us back £5.5 bn a year (2017)

So the cost to us of EU membership is £7.5 bn a year.

That £7.5 bn a year gets us £274 bn a year in exports to the EU.

It also guarantees another £342 bn a year in sales made to non-EU countries via trade deals negotiated on our behalf by the EU, some of the sharpest trade negotiators in the world (much sharper then ours) with the power of 500 million of the most astute customers in the world behind them.

That's £7.5 bn investment to get £616 bn in return.


Hmmmm
Even with facts like that, you can't educate pork...

Unfortunately the leavers did not believe what was blindingly clear --- at least 10 years to resolve, EU lawyers getting full employment and the UK suffering for at least those 10 years.
At 70, I doubt it will be resolved in my lifetime.
Stop the madness now and Stay In.
So we stay in because we are bullied into remaining?
We are being bullied into leaving because roughly a quarter of the population believe what the media tells them.
same old same old, where's the light switch zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz


60 days to go

Oh, the temptation to correct your shocking grammar is strong!! If you're going to take the piss out of someone's spelling you had better be 100% correct!
