  1. Back in the early sixties we didn't have a phone, but my elder brother (23 years older than me) had got married and got his own house with phone.

    My parents used to give me a few pennies to go to the nearest phone box to ring him before going round to visit. I was scared stiff of being shut in one of the old phone boxes (the doors were really heavy)  so I used to hang around out of sight then go home and say nobody answered. I still have this phobia about going in phone boxes. Even as an adult (before mobile phones) if I had to use one I would keep the door wedged open with my foot.

    As Ben said I don't think leavers had, or have, a clue what they voted for. I certainly have no idea what the full ramifications are and suspect it's going to be some time after leaving that the full effect becomes clear.

    That's what the majority voted for.

    It would have been nice to have had a vote on this. IoM residents could not vote but whatever the outcome we will feel the effects of it as much as any UK citizen.
