It'll be a Friday, so the kids will want bacon sandwiches for breakfast (a tradition I should never have bloody started).

It's the first of November, so every f**king shop in the known universe will begin playing the same 7 Christmas songs on repeat, 24 hours a day.

Whatever happens, the sun will still rise in the morning and set in the evening; so the earth will still be spinning.

Apart from that, no idea.

My thoughts about leaving the EU has always been that the amount of chaos will be inversely related to the time to get things sorted.
After 3 years of mild chaos with f**kall happening, a couple weeks of bedlam will be well worth it as solutions for most issues will soon get sorted and then we can really plan for the future.

Exactly my thoughts. I voted to remain, but democracy was put into action and a different outcome was decided. If we are going to leave then we should get on with it, and kicking the can down the road isn't going to get us a better deal.

Even if we leave on 31st October without a deal, it will suddenly focus minds on both sides of the channel and lead to deals being done to contain the disruption.

God forbid you make a plan before you leave

Of course there are plans and if everyone accepted we were 100% definitely going to no longer be a member of the EU on 1/11/19, with or without a deal, the plans would be even better and more comprehensive.
The cliff edge has been an anti-leave creation to scare. There will be problems and unresolved issues but necessity is the mother of invention.
Anything other than to leave on that date will cause the most intense upset and confusion for the foreseeable future. Extra referendums, revoking article 50, general elections or extensions, all create more problems rather than solve any.

I was quite into computers in the years before the millennium, and the entire reason nothing happened is most companies with any sense had a team of programmers going through their legacy code and correcting anything which was going to cause problems. It cost a lot of money, but they knew what was going to happen and fixed it in time so that planes didn't literally fall out of the sky. Lots of programmers got quite rich out of the thing too.

The problem with Brexit is that still to this day no-one knows what Brexit is. It is absurd that something like this hasn't been worked out, and yet a date has been set for it regardless.
