    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Have to say, I too was wondering. Partner had a somewhat rough time with her first. And is due second next week - which works out exactly 11 weeks. I certainly hope she doesn't get a worse impact than the first. But even her unpleasant experience wasn't the worst I have read about.
