Careful now, Dave, I have in-laws in Hertford...

Well she went into a bit of detail, she handed out the odd veiled threat, she repeatedly told the EU that what's in our interests is also in theirs, that she wants frictionless, tariff- free trade (wot she can't have because of that customs union hostage-to-fortune red line bollix), she wants regulatory alignment now but which she has the option to walk away from later (that's a laugh, is that), and she gave us nowt new about the Irish border, just a bit of waffle about automation or something. She told us a lot of what she wants but not how she's going to get it, most of which she won't. EU reaction is going to be interesting. She sounded like an automaton and at one point I thought she might be nodding off. And after 21 months of her not getting on with it she demanded that we get on with it.
