Rest in peace Terry Pratchett.earth was flat when I last looked
Well in spite of all that extra money we were told was going to the NHS we still here they want more.
Some things have gone up in price, I noted the eQ-3 TRV heads which I got for £15 each now doubled in price, but others have dropped in price, and the others have WiFi so it just means a different make.
Wife still went to Ireland without a passport, so nothing changed there.
We have not got back cheap New Zealand lamp or butter, so we have still lost the stuff we had before we joined, but lost the overland route to China.
Routes like the A55 we still have to maintain between EU nations, but get no EU funding, (Think it was E22)
still used by EU traffic, but now we pay for upkeep.
The farmers are having a hard time without the EU subsidies, but this is because farmers have to look ahead at least 10 years, so fast changes, be it brexit or fuel prices, catches them out.
Travel to US does not seem to have improved, and travel elsewhere often means going through Europe even if not going to Europe, so overland has been replaced with air and sea, often with higher prices as a result.
But Colvid disguised the effect of leaving EU. So we don't know true cost, which could include Scotland leaving the UK.
