But, but it hasn't happened yet so the black hole hasn't opened yet. Brexit isn't a binary object, it's more of a glaciar being calved into the ocean to find its own destiny.
Ahhh the it hasn't happened yet line - good to hear that's still in the list of go to reasonscheckmate91 said:
Oh and the smell a rat pic a few posts above shouldn't in my view have John Major on show. Unless I'm completely mistaken he's the reason the UK isn't a Euro currency, which, I believe, Everyone thinks is a Good Thing.
Two replies chose oneA) If that's the only person that you consider to be unfair then the others you must therefore agree with - thanks I can live with the odd mistake
B) He called the MP's who were against the signing of the Maastricht treaty "b

I accept those headlines will have influenced a significant number of people but using my own personal experience I don’t think it’s the majority.
I live in a pretty white working/middle class area and those headlines aren’t fears I hear expressed locally.
That's the problem with personal experiences. I'm on the record here that I thought that TM will wipe the floor with Corbyn and that Cons will have 100+ majority. Personal experiences are much more personal that we (we as people in general) want them to be.

I wasn't claiming there would be any changes, Osborne, Cameron and Carney were predicting financial Armageddon though, along with the Treasury and others.

The point being made is that immediately after the referendum assessments would need to be made on any situation at the time. The £ got hit immediately and interest rates were lowered.What point are you failing to make?
As pointed out by another member, Brexit is changing as we progress for better or worse. Nobody had a clue what is going to happen. Cameron resigning put us in limbo for a while.
Nothing is going to happen within Days/weeks which is what you said and I questioned.

Crack on being in denial, I'm done with arguing with a brick wall.

That's not what Osborne and others stated, if you'd read the links provided what was claimed is undeniable, yet you seem to be denying the undeniable!

I will let you crack on with your Days/weeks denial, you never know, it might cost you £4200 by 2030 Crack on being in denial, I'm done with arguing with a brick wall.

Only if you think the UK signing up to the ERM under his watch and then its subsequent crashing out whilst pissing away £ billions to try and prop it up was a long term plan by Major to allow us to see what a disaster the Euro would have been for the UK. 
Even after that debarcle, Major was still trying to align the UK to the EU more closely and Blair carried on that path, it was Brown who refused Blairs attempts to have the UK abandon the £ and join the €. It's one of the few things winky mcf
