Fortunately I have secured a case of poo for the event! I also change my avatar to honour St Nigel!

Pardon my ignorance, but what are CESMs?

I can only quote Sir Robert Walpole, first Earl of Orford, and also considered to be the first British Prime Minister "They now ring the bells, but they will soon wring their hands".

Incidentally another rather appropriate quote from him is "The very idea of true patriotism is lost, and the term has been prostituted to the very worst of purposes. "

Just another day in stupid land. yup full moon outside

And indeed the RoI can make their own decisions re checks & borders. I repeat, no one, save yourself, has suggested the EU would just let a member state decide how borders with non EU countries will work. It's up to individual countries to refuse to comply and stand up to them.

Unsure why this requires repeating.

I have decided to follow 3T's lead and change my avatar to honour Nigel Farage.

I think it captures his essense perfectly ;-)

When we do finally brexit I'll crack open the champers... and those toffs and snobs will kindly Cluck off.

To answer the OP. We'll break open a bottle of bubbly and celebrate quietly. Just as the British people quietly voted to leave the EU; quietly stuck to their guns; quietly saw through the false scaremongering and quietly voted again and again until their voices could be heard above all the shouting hysteria and powerful 'naysayers'. I suspect that most will do the same.

Thank you for B.A., T.T.T. (lot of punctuation marks there). Perhaps I should add that I've chipped in my fiver to pay for Big Ben to chime at eleven p.m. on 31/1/20.

Do you get it back if Big Ben doesn't Bong?

In answer to the OP: Why?

If the sum raised is not needed for Big Ben I am told that it will go to Help for Heroes - I'm quite happy about that.
