diddlydo, forgive me if I do not believe it when you say that you do not know a single person who voted to leave when they were in the majority of the population. It may be true but I would find it hard to believe. It is something you will have to get used to so why waste your life trying to deny Brexit when you know it is happening.
//Diddly, will you be devastated if we do well after leaving because that's what I'm getting from you? It seems you actually want us to fail.//
I'm sure that you all know what schadenfreude means. Nevertheless I'll give the rough Teutonic "translation."
{pleasure derived by someone from another person's misfortune}
Diddly is suffering from a sort of weird mirror image version of the condition whereby intense pain and discomfort is experienced from the observation or anticipation of another persons joy or pleasure. Nuuuuurse.

Shedman.....it's called the bubble or even the swamp. The condition/membership does not allow the inhabitants of either environment to even consider that "other" people don't share their insular views. It regularly loses elections and National Polls that they are convinced are theirs to predict and profit by on an almost annual basis .
//...all my colleagues and friends and acquaintances are devastated by Brexit.//
As I said earlier (or on anther thread, I can't remember) I would have been bitterly disappointed had the referendum gone the other way. But "devastated"? Nah. I would have dusted myself down, straightened my tie and got on. Devastated is what happens when you lose a loved one. Or when Spurs lose at home to Arsenal. Amazing as it may seem. life will go on for those who are "devastated". They may have to make a few adjustments as we all have to from time to time, but they will get by (provided they don't wallow too long in their devastation.

Togo, I was going to answer your post at 20.00 with reminds me of David Cameron and his sidekick when they let the country have the referendum as they didn't think it was possible to lose it. Then I saw Diddly's post at 22.36 and that one left me gobsmacked. How on earth can you compare leaving the EU with losing a loved one. I think I prefered it when she didn't answer my questions than to come out with something like that. I notice her mate gulliver has stayed away from agreeing with her this time.
I'm definitely no expert on Brexit/Remain. I didn't vote either way because I don't think it'll make the slightest difference to us ordinary folk, the Great Unwashed, whether we're in or we're out. I keep hearing about "great opportunities" when we leave, and I get the impression of the UK being the equivalent of a double glazing salesman, knocking on doors hoping someone will want to buy.
