Some projections are outrageous, others ridiculous and a few are just a bit too apocalyptic.
I just thought I would add a few so as not to feel left out of the speculation about what no-one can foretell or predict will actually happen.
The White Cliffs of Dover will lose all symbolism
The songs of Plastic Bertrand will be forgotten forever
French Kissing will just become kissing
The Premier League will comprise two British men and an enthusiastic dog per team
English men will look even more stupid wearing casual shoes with no socks
Gruff, hard working Northern British towns will be twinned with posh Southern ones
A French made car will assume an exotic character
Wearing a string of onions around your neck will no longer be seen as funny
The Eurovision Song Contest will become like the Holy Grail
Buying Polish will just mean buying something to buff up your shoes
Euro Trash will just become good old British Crap
We may forget that Walkers Crisps, in Europe are called Lays
British people will no longer feel happy speaking loudly in the company of foreigners
Replica football shirts will not be suitable gear in which to travel abroad
The nation's collection of European loose change will dwindle dramatically
There will no longer be an option to "Go Dutch" on a date
Even larger holes will appear in British roads and footpaths. Children may fall in.
Continental Quilts will have to be surrendered for old fashioned sheets and blankets
Pavement Cafe's and Piazzas will be shunned as being too foreign for our tastes
No more straw donkeys or wide brimmed sombrero's will ever pass through Customs
British people will travel soberly and quietly on aeroplane flights
Piri-Piri Chicken will not enjoy the ascendancy in our culture that it so deserves
Blackpool Tower will never again be mistaken for the Eiffel Tower
People describing non British Food as foreign muck will be heralded as heroes
Danish Pastries will be sold under the counter as illicit goods
Nice Biscuits will just become rectangular, sugar frosted biscuits
Invitations to former members to rejoin The British Empire will be sent out
Italian men, in the minds of British women, will become like Gods
The Smurfs will be cited by parents as the ultimate threat to naughty children
All ex-pat Brits will have to return to the homeland
As above, Sales of campervans will plummet overnight but sun bed sales will boom
The North Sea will be stained blue to invoke memories of the Mediterranean
Only one type of breakfast will exist in restaurant buffets
Cafe Culture will just be a growth of mould on a sad attempt at a latte
The Union Jack will become just black and white
Britains will finally admit that living on an island makes for a sad, lonely existence
