We've always had to be over a certain age to vote.

Surely we should have to be under a certain age to vote from now on.

Yes, granny; the queue for your hip operation might get shorter but now there'll be no bugger at the end to do it for you.

On the plus side, does that mean less Carlsberg/Heverlee, etc?

Looking forward to spending my Mexican Dollars again in a third world country, been far too long since there was parity on the exchange rate.
At least you'll have the option to eat straight bananas again.

All of a sudden that pile of Euro left over from the Disney trip is glowing in the dark. Wonder are GBB still considering setting up in Belfast. Was walking past the Stiff Kitten yesterday and there are workmen in. I'd settle for Brewdog  :) Ever the wishful thinker.

It's an absolute balls. Puts the price of my trips down south and abroad up. Long term the North is fucked, the English have never wanted to invest here and without the EU pumping money in it's going to get even worse. Will be interesting to see what the Scots do now.

Beer wise, UK beer should now be cheaper down south but Irish brewers will now find it harder to sell in the North and over in Britain. Possibly now be cheaper to buy UK hops and malt too.

Wasn't that long ago there was parity, but you are right though not good long term for NI viz investment.

I can envisage a redrawing of politics in the UK with party's like UKIP becoming larger and taking from labour and conservatives. The north of England has never got a good deal from their government and believe now they will. However I do not think so and so the distrust will grow.
