While Britain dithers about whether to chime Big Ben at the end of the month, Europen countries have decided to celebrate Brexit in order to mark the end of Unrestricted Travel for Britons.
Mediterranean countries who have suffered invasions of British Tourists for decades are delighted at the plans for Visas and the banning of overflight clearances for British government subsidised airlines.
"Too long have we suffered British Tourists," said an Alicante Hotelier. "We have had to tolerate their alcohol abuse, street urination, noise and their 300-word vocabularies for too long."
Asked about future vacant hotel rooms, he replied, "Now we have room for migrants from North Africa and the Far East. They are a far better class of people. They don't have alcohol abuse problems, they are eager to learn our languages, they meld into our cultures, they have higher IQs and a better work ethic!"
An unnamed spokesperson for the Brexit celebrations remarked, "We have had to send our people to Britain to help with their Agriculture and their Health Service, which they could not sustain by themselves. We have had to teach them how to measure and weigh things properly and how to decimalise their currency. We have had to take over manufacturing companies and their electricity and water supply companies. We hope to be able to get them to run these things for themselves in the future, but we are not hopeful."
A retired military captain from the Hungarian Army said, "Since they were invited to join Europe they have started illegal wars and embarrassed us around the world. We are happy to see them go."
A French rugby player was heard to comment, "Soon the Six Nations competition will be Five Nations when Wales and Scotland join the Europen Union. Then other countries will probably join the competition because in the past they didn't want to play against the English, particularly after their behaviour at the World Cup!"
A representative for the Europen Trade Commission has stated, "It seems that Britain is seeking to trade with Africa rather than the EU. For that reason, we anticipate the pound sterling will drop about twenty-five per cent year on year compared to the Euro. As long as their government ministers engage in off-shore banking and foreign asset ownership, we see no hope for recovery for the pound."
