The photos on the BBC live stream say a different story with respect to the weather:

Just saw the thunderstorms warning on BBC for south-east of England and floods.

I am in the Midlands and it is turning out to be quite a nice day round here.

You are the lucky one.

Also, people need to take more time getting to the airports in London area and some flights are being delayed and cancelled.

I am surprised there isnt a thread already.

There's a long queue at guest services already. One passenger isn't happy that his flight has been cancelled twice.

The only advantage to voting out is that maybe we will just have one section for UK passports and EU will be lumped with the rest.

Mind you conversely we will have to use the 'other' route when going to Europe, so probably best vote remain.

If you'd just joined Schengen there would have been no need for passports, and no "route" at all!!

Well said, but far too sensible for those who think having border guards check passports of holiday makers returning from Malaga enhances their security, whilst at the same time there isn't enough money to pay for patrol boats to stop illegal boat landings

True, but not driven between countries for a few months. Have the border controls now been relaxed again in Europe or are they still there?

In the last few minutes the market on Betfair has flipped and a Brexit is now favourite.

A very interesting night still to come!

The £100 I stupidly put on Leave while drunk seems like a sound investment now... Looking forward to my £550 payout, I'll put it on an ex-eu.. That is if we're not in WW3 tomorrow or if £550 can even buy a bottle of water

Time to eat your words. UK is OUT.

Unless its "advisory".

Pound on its knees. Uncertain future. Glad I now live in Switzerland.
