    No, but a lot of the folks who campaigned for it have shown a distinct lack of integrity. I mean, we could have voted to stay in and negotiate but noooo... we had to take the atomic option and left ourselves isolated. Still, at least we're consistent.

    Re: Preparing For Brexit

    Sounds like a lot of people are regretting the vote and want to roll back.

    Let me guess, as usual, there's no backup to restore to....

    Re: Preparing For Brexit

    Funky, was that request in writing? I would maneuver him/her into giving you something just incase.

    I had a boss who made a request which she later denied. Luckly for me a friend recieved an email from her asking him to pass her direction to me, which she later decided to do in person.

    A backup sounds like a good idea.

    Erm... it's not a real request. Entirely fictitious and just for the punnage.

    I didn't think virtual requests were allowed in databases.

    I agree, an excellent idea. I think a backup of Britain that stays in the EU would be quite popular. The only problem is where to put it. Geurnsey maybe?

    Actually, this demonstrates the rollup package quite nicely - for Belgium, anyway.
