To not be holding an Exit Party .

Very well said Cunco

Exactly Yiay
It is a historic day though, so you would expect some celebrations, it’s taken so long to get to this point.

Varian 'Who are these deluded folk invting to their parties?'

Well, I have been invited to raise a glass with 2 of our good friends who are fellow Leavers. I am fortunate to have many friends and family that voted Remain but, thankfully, they do not have the insufferable arrogance to deem me deluded. We have a different point of view, notably as regards the wisdom of irrevocably casting our lot, and those of future generations, within a United States of Europe.

My evening will be shared with people, all of whom have university degrees, two of us in economics, and all who have proved themselves capable of making up their own minds. Face to face, I don't think most people would regard us as deluded.

Personally, I think the road ahead will be challenging but I do not share the determination of some Remainers to paint a picture of total unending gloom. I take particular exception to those who would perpetuate the insidious stereotype of the Leaver as old, gullible, stupid and racist.

I will raise a glass, not in a triumphal way, but in the hope and expectation that the UK make its way as allies and trading partners of our friends in Europe while outside the EU. I will also hope that the negativity and recrimination within the UK will cease. There are too many challenges ahead to be fighting over past battles won and lost.

Time to reserve mourning for it’s proper place methinks.

Each to their own for those who wish to celebrate enjoy.

Wearing black?

Lighting candles?

(shaking head in disbelief)

We voted Leave but won't be celebrating. Half our family wants to remain so we don't do gloating.

I shall listen to Boris if he makes a speech, and try and stay awake until 11. Whatever anyone thinks about it all, it’s an historic day.J

janeainsworth I too will be wearing black

I don't know a single person who plans to 'party'...

We don't get back from kayaking until after 10pm. I'll probably go straight to bed, and read for a while before going to sleep.

Who are these deluded folk invting to their parties? Rupert Murdoch and the other tax dodging newspaper owners? Vladimir Putin and his bots? Crispin Odey and the rest of the disaster capitalists? They wont come. They're already laughing all the way to the bank.

I really can't imagine many GNters really being the 'party the night away' type in any case, whatever happens, can you?

Yes, that crossed my mind too, Hetty, but I didn't like to say it either! On the NYE celebration thread recently, I got the impression that most people planned to be asleep before midnight.

No party here, neither happy nor sad.

Nobody seems bothered one way or the other round here

Each to their own,those celebrating enjoy.

Oh yes we will certainly stay up and cheer at 11pm when despite everything possible being done to thwart the will of the majority, we are finally leaving.
Hurrah .!! ? I understand Boris will be speaking on the 10 o’clock news so we’ll watch that and then await 11pm.

Or buying in for their parties perhaps? ? ? ?

I'm not miserable Hetry, just resigned.

Tesco had some empty shelves this morning- are people panic buying?

I will have a listen to this and then go to bed feeling very sad.

Ah I’m doing ‘dry January ‘... I had 3 days exempt for special occasions so I’m adding them onto next week as it is!

Wine seems to fit the occasion, however you feel about it!

I'm feeling really sad about it. More wine needed

Ha! That really made me laugh Hetty58. I thought similar but held back, thinking I’d get shouts of ‘ageism’ from some quarters. You know how it is these days ...
?

Maybe with a few Codeine?

For the right circumstances I could give it a go?

Sorry - Bridgeit. Oops!
