I made the big mistake of being collared by a neighbour
down my road, and asking what he thought about a No Deal
Brexit and although I'm fairly sure he's never even heard
of Usenet its probably best to be sure.

We live around the corner from a Tube station and one of
the main reasons he gave for voting leave. and why he thinks
a No Deal Brexit is a good idea is that you can't get on a
Tube train in the morning nowadays as a result of all
the "extra" people nowadays travelling into London.

When I pointed out to him that once we've sent all the
"extra" people back from where they came from, their jobs
would still need to be done by "our own" people who would
still need to travel to work by Tube.

This didn't seem to impress him very much.

Another reason was because of these plans to form a European
Army which would be run by the Germans. He explained that this
wouldn't be a good idea if we ever went to war with Germany
again.

I'm still not quite sure how that one was supposed to work
but by that stage I'd had enough of "the will of the people"

And I forgot to add, and I swear this is true and that this
chap is very serious when discussing such things

Marvin: " but what about all the shortages that might result
aren't you worried about those ? "

Neighbour " we (not him actually and he's 3 years younger than
I am ) had shortages during the war and we came through those "

This was just before the stuff about war with Germany as well.
