    Yes, an off day. It’s also very rare to get this far into a debate about Brexit with the overuse of smilies.

    I shall leave my post in the hope that I learn from it

      I know, it must be - I just saw your spelling mistake correction on the right to reply thread

      Alright, I'll dial down the smiles from now
      (I only tend to put them because Blaster practically puts in every post lol)

        There are certain NGOs, for example, that we should stay part of. As listed earlier, things like ESA, CEN, Open Skies, etc. But there appear to be some in the Brexit camp who say we should leave every single organisation/treaty/agreement that is related to the EU. (You’ll find several of them on this forum). From a business, financial and practical point of view it would be madness to leave all EU related bodies/agreements.

          Well, they are uninformed at best, simply for the reason of open skies, which dictates commercial airlines if i'm not mistaken!?

          We still need to be able to fly to Europe people!

          It comes back to what I said earlier but apply it to them instead of me; the CuKrs are not negotiating (luckily) - and the government will overrule their desires on a few things.

          I'll guess Erasmus should probably stay, as that's very useful (for business in the long term) to hoover up talent.
          CERN

          I'm not aware of all, but then again I don't need to be - as it's beyond my power anyhow. If we were given a further say on the final deal, then it would be worth reading the fine print, but that's a big IF.

          Anyone (remain or leave) that doesn't believe there will be some nuance to 'leaving' is divorced from reality.

          Edit: Time to travel home, have a good weekend with the airport, dog & hog

            CEN, not CERN (although that’s probably just a spell checker thing)

            It’s the equivalent of the British Standards Institute, DIN, ANSI, etc.
            So BS5750 becomes ISO 9000

            Something with a BS mark is valid only in the UK. If it has an EN mark, it’s valid Europe-wide, and if it’s ISO marked, then it meets the global standard.
