But there again, a lot of people who also live in Britain will be very happy if this whole disgraceful thing’s cancelled altogether.

With the Alternative vote ref and the indy ref they prepared all the legislation and the destination state before the referendum started, that way everyone knew what they were voting for. If they had done that for this I imagine that the house of commons could of actually done a better job of it and got a load of other useful stuff done too by now...

As a business that supplies services mainly to other businesses (signage) I've seen a very real drop in turnover in the last 2 years and this year has been about the worst I've had since I started 18 years ago, around April is normally my busiest time of year due to year end/start and tourist season starting, not this year, it looks like everyone is holding onto their money as no one knows what's going to happen, most people I talk to just want it over one way or the other, we just don't care anymore, or rather we do care but we need something to happen.
It's like having a bad tooth pulled finally but then the dentist can't decide how to do or wether to use anesthetic or not so just sends you home to sit in pain for another few weeks!

As a small business owner I echo Bowbers comments. If you review our business accounts there is a distinct drop off in both turnover and profit immediately after the Brexit referendum. This was due to increased costs of stock from our suppliers and a fall in spending from our customers. This has impacted us to the point that we will be closing our doors later this year with the loss of 3 jobs. Much as I would like it all to go away it is now too late for us as the damage is already done. Personally we will be fine but that doesn't help the people losing their jobs and rest assured we did everything we could to protect them and have sunk personal cash into the business to try to weather the storm.
