General Discussion
Very rarely do I recommend anything or anybody. But this time I feel the need to say what a wonderful service I received recently from Steve and his team. I had the most comprehensive eye test I have ever had, nothing was too much trouble and the result was a pair of glasses that I can actually use, unlike the last two pairs, shouldn't have gone to Spec Savers.
I expect the undertakers arrived after I left the scene. That would explain why the other emergency services left the scene, they wouldn't have a body bag. But as Devon live has reported, there will be an update.
A lot of activity in the toilets which were taped off by the police. Police, paramedics and quick response were all in attendance. Police still in attendance after paramedics and the other emergency team had left. I saw now one being carried out, but that is not to say they won't be. The papers will grab the news no doubt.

But could it be that the outlook of a hard brexit is so bad that goverment finds it impossible to tell us as it may cause mass hysteria riots and looting or is it there is nothing to tell.
The terms hard and soft Brexit had never been used until Leave won the referendum. Soft Brexit is a ruse invented by Remainers to try to keep us in the EU by the back door, and it was fully endorsed by May with the publication of her Chequers plan. It's the game she has been playing for the last two years, but thankfully her wings have now been clipped by true Brexiteers in the government.
Leatash: I agree it has never happened before. That is why the government is (now) making contingency plans in case it all goes **** up and it is making those contingency plans at the behest of those hardline Brexiteers in parliament who want a hard Brexit. As Burneside has correctly pointed out it is a government's responsibility to make contingency plans and act upon them. And as I have ...
