Yes, wholeheartedly. But you said rather more than that. You suggested that the UK could join EFTA.
That's what I commented.

Let's hope so. Extrapolating from common sense has not shown itself recently to be a reliable guide
to the way nations behave. From what I know of inter-ANSP politics, it never was.

No one has the full picture. I am trying to color in bits that I see which others may not. People
are not going to appreciate all the colors used, but at least they'll been seen. I think that is all
to the good. The more points of view there are expressed and heard, the better the chances of a
better outcome. Many people do not realise that business is a hugely fragile thing, and industrial
engineering is business. Look at what happened to Chris, overnight. I'm sure you know exactly what I
mean.
