1. Brexit will happen when Big Ben bongs at midnight on 29th/30th March 2019
Prime Minister's spokesman in March 2018: "Downing Street this afternoon confirmed the 24-month deadline for reaching a Brexit deal will expire 'when Big Ben bongs midnight' on the night of March 29-30, 2019."

2. Big Ben will not bong until 2021, so that workers fixing it aren't deafened (which according to the Daily Mail is 'Health and Safety gone mad')


Since it's daylight, Theresa May must be spinning in her coffin trying to work out how she will U turn this one.

If Big Ben does ring in March 2019 to herald Britain's entry into the EEA/EFTA I suspect most Brexiteers will be wearing ear plugs whilst drowning their sorrows at being sold down the river.

Nonsense, they'll celebrate it as a sign of parliamentary sovereignty and invoke the Blitz Spirit.

March 29th - last date we can spend GBP.
March 30th, heralded with the ringing of Big Ben and after months of strong and stable red white and blue negotiations, we join the Euro.
