Happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year.
As an Englishman the Brexit vote was my highlight of 2016 and now I'm looking forward to 2017,the triggering of Article 50 and the beginning of discussions to ease Britain's departure from the EU.
Many happy returns.
Thats nice and I hope it doesn't disrupt your life too much when you are deported.
However my 82 year old aunt who has lived in England over 60 years is worried sick about her impending deportation.
I know that Brexit isn't going to actually happen, but try telling her that.

Nice bit of humour there from Cremeegg. Brexit will happen. We won't be deporting who have become more Irish than the Irish themselves either. Neither will Teresa be deporting those of ours who became more Brit than the Brits themselves.
I'm reading newspaper articles by the day. I have no doubt the Brits will survive outside of the EU and at the end of the financial year will find themselves better off than they would if they remained in the EU. The thing is:- Can we survive without the Brits? Will the EU be kinder to us than the UK has been? Will things improve for us as a result of Brexit? Is it probable that we'll have a vote on Irexit?
I'm hearing that we'll become the largest English speaking people of the EU which will have a favourable knock on effect. I suppose we'll get a few more Call Centres as a result. We're told that opportunity knocks for us.
I'll tell you one thing though that until I see something concrete to our benefit I have more fears than Cremeegg or Wahaay.
Even if the EU goes down the route of forcing a hard Brexit average WTO tariffs are only around 4% so hardly a game-changer for Irish agricultural exports to the UK which frequently vary by that amount depending on the strength of the euro.
For Irish agricultural products selling into the UK the 4% tariffs are not the point. The competition with more efficient New Zealand and Argentine producers is the problem.
