Sorry Rudestuff, it's my pedantic nature kicking in. Your advice to the OP was correct and I was merely picking you up on your terminology. You originally stated '...live and work in the UK and now you wish to be able to work in Europe as well?' The point I was making is that the UK continues to be and will forever be part of Europe and so the sentence should have read '...live and work in the UK and now you wish to be able to work in the European Union as well?' .
I constantly hear politicians referring to the UK's departure from Europe, which apart from making my teeth itch, is also a physical impossibility, unless we align all our windfarms and our hot air-blowing politicians to push us further out into the Atlantic.
I shall now step back into my box.
