Yes, but the doom merchants were prophesying instant gloom.

Of course some were, just like the Brexiteers were promising to spend what they save in EU fees on the NHS. Lots of lies were told by all sides. It was the most ridiculous, ill advised, uninformed fiasco we have seen in many a year. The whole point being made was that the referendum should never have happened. It was a result of the posh lads from Eton panicking that they may have there noses pushed out of the trough.
