I walked to work on 24th June 2016, reeling from the news that the UK referendum had shown a small but decisive majority in favour of leaving the European Union. I only knew of one person who had voted for Brexit! I had seen a few Leave posters up whilst out cycling and the opinion polls showed only a small difference, but none the less, I was hugely surprised. A neighbour reassured me that a deal would be struck so that we would find a nice arrangement amounting to a modest change, but the last two years have shown the value of his insights.
