you can just imagine the poor civil servant having to draft this garbage

- um, we don't know what will happen

- well you'd better just put some old guff out anyway

I remember sitting next to an expat who lived in spain probably pre vote, at a breakfast after a wedding.

going ON AND ON AND ON about how he didn't like coming back to the UK because of all the foreigners etc.

Brexit, meh, whatever, but it will give me some small joy if he is inconvenienced by this having had to listen to this. he was a prime candidate for a heart attack or something given how  red faced he got.  

I do feel for his wife though who was clearly long suffering.  

He's not an expat, he's an immigrant.
