While I'm here, do you remember that WTO Rules fall-back option? (you know, the "God help us" trading option assuming that we can't keep access to the Single Market AND kick Johnny Foreigner out)

Well, we'd even have to renegotiate entry to that club too - we can't just waltz in. And God-forbid if a WTO member had a long-standing UK thorn in its side, like ownership over some obscure South Atlantic islands, for example, and decided to be difficult about admitting us.

You obviously do not believe in referenda (unless the result goes your way). As I seem to remember that the Falkland Islanders voted to remain under UK control.

We will not tender for new customers. Once our current customer base is depleted we will sell off the rights to the software. It will have little value as it will be out of date. We will then close the company.

Must be a horrible experience having to kill off a business you have cared about.

This is not an isolated situation.  There are many small to medium businesses facing the same fate.  My OH is in a similar(ish) position - our solution is to relocate to Spain several years before we intended to.

For the record I did vote to leave and my reasons are I admit entirely selfish.

I last had a pay rise in 2011, since then every year I have been told by one of our directors (this is a FTSE 250 company by the way) that. For what we are paying you we could get 2 eastern Europeans in I am quite certain that similar conversations have happened elsewhere.

Did you not listen to what the WTO head said yesterday or have you conveniently dismissed it?

Whether or not, and which of, these predictions were correct we will find out when we leave.
