    No I would have still voted to remain with our biggest trading partner that we have had in the history of our country as opposed to being free to do a deal with the country of Jordan . Nothing wrong with Jordan I am sure it is a very nice place but I dont actually recall too many members on here doing business over there . :)

    I would still vote leave. We are close to a free trade agreement with India and a number of other countries and our trade deals are with growing economies, not with the world's slowest growing region. None of the "project fear" claims of an economy collapse and mass unemployment have proved true.

    40 years but ....My wife is faster than me !

    My partner got a dog recently so I'm out in the local parks a couple of times a day. Just being away from the desk, has really helped me de-stress. Having a dog means I have random. neutral conversations with people and being outdoors helps me be present in the moment instead of too much in my head with business issues. I'd recommend anyone to take a break in nature if possible, even if it's just a walk for a while.
