    Yes, but now the train has left the station. Great Britain had some very favorable conditions. Even if the EU and the UK were to come to terms, this special deal would certainly not happen again. It can’t get any better than it was, only less bad.

      Found the German! The English equivalent of “der Zug ist schon abgefahren“ would be “that ship has sailed”. Which is pretty funny if you think about the geography of the UK versus the German speaking realm.
