It's interesting that some of our friends just had a visit from an English couple who they met whilst they were all on holiday in South Africa. They got on famously. What a lovely couple the people from England were. They had so much in common, among them birdwatching and visiting game reserves, the Kruger National Park. Both couples are very 'green.' Anyway the visitors from England were shown the castles, the coastlines and the sights in one of the most beautiful and richest EU countries. Great. Both their kids work in Bruxelles, one's an interpreter the other a lawyer specialising in fish quotas. Dinner was OK, until the subject of Brexit came up. Regrets, regrets. The English couple, who appeared so friendly and nice, were also really strong Brexiters and supported UKIP. This came as somewhat of a shock to their hosts. According to the couple we know, their version, the English couple spouted all manner of Brexit propaganda about Europe which was demonstrably not true. The two young people who work in Bruxelles politely pointed this out, that there was another side to the story. This only made this much worse. I wasn't there so I can't judge. Things got really heated and the last couple of days were really tense and miserable for everyone. And the two couples parted almost as sworn enemies not friends.
