The whole brexit thing has been strange - following the brexit decision I shelved plans to apply for a UK passport. I could get one using ancestry application - my sister has one - since my Mum and grandparents on both sides were born in England.
I wanted it mostly on the off chance I could get to work in the EU or UK - most companies in my field will have a head office over there somewhere.
Once the brexit kicked in, I stopped it. If I need work rights in the UK it should be pretty simple, and the rest of EU? Well, that can be my companies problem.
Other than that, my family in “the north” are happy with brexit, so shrugs not sure it impacted their lives much but it did help their sense of identity.
