I shall be carrying on as normal and *if* anything happens locally we will be fine and I shall stay home, I have marmalade making planned for that afternoon.
Despite the predictions and forecasts of economic meltdown, shock, terror and deprivation, marmalade production continues.
I'm tempted to call the Daily Mail with this headline making story. Decaff, when would you be available for interview?
It'll probably be in the science section of the DM
I'll be carrying on as normal too, I can imagine either way there'll be loads of toys flying out of prams at least.
I have a strategy, it's not written in stone, nor can it be, this scenario has too many variables, everything about it depends on those variables, being specific is not possible.
What the hell is going on? Sir Bob and Nige are busy playing bumper boats on the Thames whilst the majority of us are still asking for some clarity on the size of the EU marmalade mountain.
Don't they visit this forum?
I've always assumed we have some politicos on here and from their posts I've surmised that Devonian is Farage and Deeps is BoJo. I am, of course, Funkyprepper but you guys already knew that.

I'm like the bastard offspring of BoJo and General Sir Anthony Cecil Hogmanay Melchett I'm that reactionary. BAAAAHHH !
Right I've sold off all the investments in Marmalade futures as both sides seems to suggest an unsettled market ahead.
I'm concerned that in the event of a Leave vote all marmalades containing non uk oranges will have to be returned to their country of origin.
My question is would a long term investment in the strategic uk orange reserve be a safe bet or should I consider diversifying into other uk fruit conserves?
If guns are outlawed then only the outlaws will have guns....
Noooo not the dreaded DM!!!!!! I shall have to get a bad boob job, terrible glow in the dark teeth, straw for hair, fish lip fillers, marker pen eyebrows and opt for an oompa loompa orange spray tan... sheesh, I may need a few days before I'm ready for that interview Briggs.
Need to get the marmalade in the cupboard, who knows, I could have the last remaining "foreign" oranges in the country! They could be worth a bloody fortune in a few months time
Behind every great man is an even greater woman. She carried you, raised you and made you who you are.

What kind lilly livered treacherous swine would buy non UK oranges anyway. They don't like it up 'em etc.
My business partner and I haven't met up in a while, and one day that we *could* have done it was the day of the referendum. He didn't want to meet then because he feels really passionate about it and I also got treated to an, um, enthusiastic lecture down the phone. Sigh.
Maybe *we* all could play bumper boats on the Thames - or the Solent - or the Firth of Forth - and lob Seville oranges at each other? Please? Much more constructive

Not sure about the constructive bit Arzosah but it does sound fun. Certainly on the Forth we don't have the weather for it but hang it, I'm in.
