The UK leaves the EU at 23.00hrs [11pm] tonight.

According to BBC News online see here 

 

The British flag has been removed from its pole outside the European Parliament in Brussels and replaced with the flag of the European Union.

A clock counting down to the moment the UK leaves the EU will be projected on to Downing Street.

At 22.00 [10pm]: Boris Johnson will address the nation in a video message.

At 23.00 [11pm], Big Ben will not chime due to ongoing renovation works.

Some people see things as they are and ask "Why?"; I dream of things that never were and ask "Why not?"

A little digging reveals this article, a more considered view in how well,or not, the UK has been doing on trade with its neighbours since the start of the year:  https://institute.global/policy/project-fear-or-project-fact-how-eu-trade-has-fared-months-following...

Just goes to show that you should always cross-check, if you can, and come to your own conclusions.

I'll shut up now (for a while 😉).

I expect trade WILL be affected but for a true picture, we need to look at these figures again when we aren't in the middle of a global pandemic @pgn 

I'm more than sure that will have had some sort of effect on trade.

As @Bambino quite rightly said on another thread...'tip of the iceberg'...

I'm expecting a lot of people who voted to leave, will be raging about this little gem.
