Exactly!
Iāve posted this one before, but itās quite amusing:
So I have decided to explain the Brexit process through the medium of cakes.
LEAVER: I want an omelette.
REMAINER: Right. Itās just we havenāt got any eggs.
LEAVER: Yes, we have. There they are. [HE POINTS AT A CAKE]
REMAINER: Theyāre in the cake.
LEAVER: Yes, get them out of the cake, please.
REMAINER: But we voted in 1974 to put them into a cake.
LEAVER: Yes, but that cake has got icing on it. Nobody said there was going to be icing on it.
REMAINER: Icing is good.
LEAVER: And there are raisins in it. I donāt like raisins. Nobody mentioned raisins. I demand another vote.
DAVID CAMERON ENTERS.
DAVID CAMERON: OK.
DAVID CAMERON SCARPERS.
LEAVER: Right, whereās my omelette?
REMAINER: I told you, the eggs are in the cake.
LEAVER: Well, get them out.
EU: Itās our cake.
JEREMY CORBYN: Yes, get them out now.
REMAINER: I have absolutely no idea how to get them out. Donāt you know how to get them out?
LEAVER: Yes! You just get them out and then you make an omelette.
REMAINER: But how?! Didnāt you give this any thought?
LEAVER: Saboteur! Youāre talking eggs down. We could make omelettes before the eggs went into the cake, so thereās no reason why we canāt make them now.
THERESA MAY: Itās OK, I can do it.
REMAINER: How?
THERESA MAY: There was a vote to remove the eggs from the cake, and so the eggs will be removed from the cake.
REMAINER: Yeah, butā¦
LEAVER: Hang on, if we take the eggs out of the cake, does that mean we donāt have any cake? I didnāt say I didnāt want the cake, just the bits I donāt like.
EU: Itās our cake.
REMAINER: But you canāt take the eggs out of the cake and then still have a cake.
LEAVER: You can. I saw the latest Bake Off and you can definitely make cakes without eggs in them. Itās just that theyāre horrible.
REMAINER: Fine. Take the eggs out. See what happens.
LEAVER: Itās not my responsibility to take the eggs out. Get on with it.
REMAINER: Why should I have to come up with some long-winded incredibly difficult chemical process to extract eggs that have bonded at the molecular level to the cake, while somehow still having the cake?
LEAVER: You lost, get over it.
THERESA MAY: By the way, Iāve started the clock on this.
REMAINER: So I assume you have a plan?
THERESA MAY: Actually, back in a bit. Just having another election.
REMAINER: Jeremy, are you going to sort this out?
JEREMY CORBYN: Yes. No. Maybe.
EU: Itās our cake.
LEAVER: Whereās my omelette? I voted for an omelette.
REMAINER: This is ridiculous. This is never going to work. We should have another vote, or at least stop what weāre doing until we know how to get the eggs out of the cake while keeping the bits of the cake that we all like.
LEAVER/MAY/CORBYN: WE HAD A VOTE. STOP SABOTAGING THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE. EGGSIT MEANS EGGSIT.
REMAINER: Fine, Iām moving to France. The cakes are nicer there.
LEAVER: You canāt. Weāve taken your freedom of movement.

Good for @Bettina - I donāt blame her, and quite correct I misunderstood.
I would still be pleased to hear from anyone else though about the positive aspects of Brexit.

You might be in for a long wait! 
Iāve never been in a kebab shop and thatās fine with me.
Long live the status quo.
What I remember when I lived in the UK, is that a night out with the girls wasnāt complete unless it finished in a kebab shop to satisfy an uncontrollable urge of āthe Munchiesā 
@Anglozone āMunchiesā 
My wife and I each had two IKEA self-assembly Hƶtte Dogges, a poke of cold frites and a fizzy drink for a total of ā¬8 in Caen yesterday.
She was starving after her flight home, and it was the nearest charging point.
Total rubbish but a life-saver and surely the cheapest āmealā ever?

Too true, @Lily!
Unfortunately her operation is boarded for some time in mid- to late October, so sheāll need to return then. Right in the middle of Brexit frenzy!
She tells me that the NHS waiting list for cataract surgery is up to 4 years.
Bloody Nora!!
I waited all of 2 weeks here! (and not private either - Limoges University Hospital)

73 days according to this article
Is your friend confusing the wait from being referred for surgery to having the procedure done with the amount of time it has taken for her cataracts to become bad enough to need surgery?
Iām sure all will go well Peter!
Four years is ridiculous for such a simple procedure
