Trouble and strife
I'm not British and no longer live in the UK, but my wife's British and she suddenly finds herself having to apply for a Dutch passport in case this goes ugly. We were already getting our kid a British passport so she'll have dual nationality. So even if negotiations go weird, we should be fine to stay in the Netherlands as a family.

Meanwhile british friends are losing their job. They work for councils or central government on projects for urban regeneration and back-to-work schemes for the unemployed. Until there is some clarity about if and how much of EU subsidies are going to be covered by Westminster these projects are over. Similar sounds come from friends who work in the academic world. Dutch expats working in the NHS are considering leaving since they don't want to work in a health system that is already heavily underfunded and is not going to get better.

On the plus side, I will enjoy spending my hard earned euros there with this new pound rate.
