    Good news, you can grow your business with the plentiful supply of ultra-low cost IT workers.

    Huge profits await your rapid post Brexit expansion.

      Everything in writing is a good call.

      I did wonder why one of the best PM's I worked with called us all when it was nearly time for us start something in live. Then a fill in guy took over while he was on holiday and about 20% of the resources fecked up and impacted my work.
      Don't get me started on the French. Their English was pretty good, but almost every solution proposed was met with "c'est ne pas possible".... the only French the English PMs knew was "mais oui, c'est IS FOOKING possible"

            Wait a minute.

            I'm an migrant intent on entering the country illegally to rape and pillage villages up and down the land. Are you telling me I can't set about my work without the proper skill set & paperwork?

                The wit and intelligence of Leaver never seems to astound me...
                Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                  Let's be honest though, wit and intelligence has ALWAYS astounded you.

                  In much the same way as fire first enchanted cave dwellers.

                    I once spent one day in Paris, upgrading a Notes server. The office opened at 10, then shut at 12 for lunch (and when I say shut, I mean really shut, I was told I had to leave). At 3, I returned (as instructed), had about 2 hours to finish and then they shut again at 5. I was gutted I actually finished within the time, I could have dragged it out to 2 days if I'd known. It was back in the days when you could smoke on the Eurostar, so there's one for the teenagers...

                      Sorry I was sinking to your level straight insults and unfounded bulltulip. I would of thought you Spooter would feel at home.
