Of the 132 exporters surveyed, 35 had ceased trading with the bloc– five of them permanently.

Some 11 per cent of remaining exporters are considering a permanent halt of sales to Europe, while the same proportion have established, or are considering establishing, a presence within an EU country to ease their exporting processes.

Good morning.

So...we have a Museum for Brexit, a Northern Independence Party...and I have a wife in hospital as of last night (OK, early this morning as I ended up taking her in about 12:30). Stomach pains > becoming more intense = infection apparently.

All going swimmingly...
