I put it down to the fact that we have not left the EU and so far we have made little effort to even try to leave. I think that people don't believe that it will ever happen.

errm as grandad said - we haven't signed article 50 yet and we're still a member of the club - in other words - nothing has actually changed either way.

The FTSE 100 share index came close to an all-time high after rising above 7,000 points as the pound plunged to a new 31-year low against the dollar.
London's leading share index closed up 1.3% at 7,074.34 - just short of its record high of 7,103.98.
However, the pound fell to $1.2737 at one point - its lowest level against the US dollar since 1985.
Sterling has fallen for the past two days as traders study the Conservative Party conference for Brexit details.

Eastern EU workers in UK 'up post-Brexit vote'

The number of workers in the UK from eight eastern European Union countries increased following the referendum, official estimates suggest.
Those from the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia numbered 1,053,000 in July to September - up 46,000 on the previous quarter.
But the Office for National Statistics found a reduction in workers from other EU countries during the same period.
The Brexit vote was on 23 June.
The ONS's labour market data suggests 1,053,000 people from the group of eight states that joined the EU in 2004 - known as the A8 - were employed in the UK in July to September.
But the number of employees from 14 other EU member states - Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and Sweden - showed a quarterly fall for the first time in two years, down from 944,000 to 937,000.
The number of Romanian and Bulgarian workers also dipped, from 266,000 in the previous three months to 258,000. Restrictions on people from the two countries working in the UK were lifted in January 2014.
Overall, the number of non-UK nationals from the EU, also including Cyprus, Malta and Croatia, working in the UK was 2.26 million in July to September.
This was up 221,000 compared with the equivalent period last year.
The Office for National Statistics said evidence suggested the referendum outcome had had little impact so far on the number of EU workers in the UK labour force.
Authoritative data on the flow of foreign workers would not be available until migration figures were published in February, the ONS added.

Our trade has slowed down,the past 18 months has seen a drop in income,a lot has to do with late night venues closing down due to lack of trade but also all the bloody road works have caused havoc with the day time trade.

that's official number from HO, it doesn't include self employed people... anyway how do they do that that they're coming here without any connections, not knowing anything about local labour market, not knowing even english and they're finding job very next day after arrival or at least at the end of their first week....

Maybe it is because some people coming here are looking for work whilst some people from here are looking to avoid work.
