33 months.
After one year we are still in, for 21 months, without any say. (Although nothing is agreed until everything is agreed.)
The majority of the work still lies ahead.
If the deal does not include such agencies that the UK currently relies upon, there is much work and expense to come:
Of course the worse possible outcome would be a cliff edge Brexit.
No agencies in place to replace the EU agencies, no deal for trade (especially finance) no deal for citizens, no deal in Ireland, no beefed up borders, etc, etc.
I do not think that chaos is too strong a description for what would ensue.

Watching Newsnight last night.
Evan Davis presented four options for the likely outcome of Brexit negotiations: (he did make an apology to JohnD for his presentations of the available options
)
1. Canada style agreement,
2. Soft Brexit (i.e. still in Customs Union or Single Market)
3. No deal
4. Continued Fudge.
If I was a betting man, I would probably put money on the 4th option.
However, I can envisage that the worst possible outcomes are 3rd or 4th option.
I would have preferred no Brexit, but if there has to be a Brexit, I would prefer the second option, Soft Brexit.

Shame, not a fan of Brexit per se. But it could have been easily settled to the vast majority of the UK populace by simply scrapping the right of unfettered freedom of movement, rightly or wrongly. That said we always have had control of non EU migration allegedly.
It matters not which option we get...
Because the majority of problems that face us are self inflicted, not 'imposed' on us by the EU as the 'leavers' would have you believe.
Leaving under any of the above 4 options will merely increase our decline at different rates!
But what is more disturbing is that whilst the talk is focused on 'financial implications' as a whole, brexiteers appear not to care about the millions of people/families whose life plans/options they will have torn up!

Given your flipancy he's probably 'well rid'!That's me, I have an Uncle in France, I guess I'll never see him again
Although you illustrate the attitude very well.
Life before the second world war wasn't all bad surely?
Dream on.
That's me, I have an Uncle in France, I guess I'll never see him again
Same scenario , loads of family in Austria , Mother, Sister , aunts, uncles ect
looks like I will never see them again
remainers/brexiteers should have told me that before I voted in the referendum 
Thats it then , there will have to be a 2nd vote I was mis-lead and porkie pied to
perhaps you should leave now.
Maybe we'll have a collection to fund a one-way ticket
Take your loved ones
Blimey would you do that for me JD
Blimey I may have got u all wrong then Blimey u actually said something decent and nice for ounce
Incidentally I do have a cat , would u help me out with her as well ????
Incidenatally the cats name is Skippy , on account that I found her dumped in a skip
