So, there I was, running a workshop this week as you do, getting folk to sign in and showing them how the strange coffee-making arrangements work…

• Punter: so, how are you funded?
• Me: well, half is from the UK regional funds and half from the EU. 
• Punter: oh, what will you do after Brexit then?
• Me: personally, I don’t think it will happen the way they say. Said so two years ago. 
• Punter: ah, you are one of those.
• Me: yep, ‘fraid so.

My consolation, as is often the case, is in Leonard Cohen –

“I told you, I told you, I to-old you, I was one of those.”
