A 2018 study in the UK by a laundry company found 3.8 per cent of Brits washed their sheets once a year. Yep, just once in 12 months.

The Brits sovereignly started the timer to ~~leave the EU~~ take back control two years ago, the EU doesn't have the ability to stop it, outside doing a daring raid to seize all their nukes and then occupying England. Only Remainers can stop this train.

Is it automatic on the UK's side? what if the day comes and goes and no one says anything? Will the EU regard the UK as not part of them anymore?

Yeah the UK has invoked the process to leave the club.

It's like quitting your job if you gave two years notice.

The United Kingdom is leaving of its own free will as decided by the 2016 referendum on weather to remain or leave the European Union and the subsequent triggering of Article 50 by the UK government.

It remains to be seen who gains, but money is on those fireselling UK industries and institutions.

The secession will be legally complete on that date and then it comes down to rule of law. For example, there are tariff laws that set how much needs to be collected for what goods. Border agencies or national governments can choose to ignore these laws, but a court can force them and enact panalities. You can just as well ask why we follow laws at all that we don't like.

we can't tariff stuff properly here because it needs to be voted on by parliament and the trade bill hasn't been passed because the governemtn have just been leaving it until after the withdrawal agreement got agreed which it hasn't lol
