Re: How would you have rected.

I'll never forget the woman down the allotment saying to the group of people with whom I was chatting 'Janet voted Leave', as if it was something to be ashamed of.

I think I too couldn't think of a worthy response.

I sometimes think that it would be so nice to remain in the EU, and then watch the remoaners suffer in years to come. They'd get no sympathy from me.

Jazzi you are in good company. There was a prominent academic talking on the radio the other day and saying they had to keep quiet about 'voting leave' for fear of ridicule and even damaging their career prospects. They knew of other academics in a similar situation.

Well yes, academics should know that wisdom and knowledge have their restrictions, stupidity however has no limitations.

I kept quiet a long time at work they have a horrified look when it's mentioned I voted out too. I just think it's obvious who hasn't been affected by the immigration and who hasn't lived outside the EU.
