This was discussed prior to the Brexit vote, a while ago when EurID
visited London.<br>
A good position description was related on:<br>

<br>
Brexiters (and please note I am saying "Brexiters", not Brits, as I
think that Brexiters are a small segment of Brits) need to come to
the understanding that when they keep on saying "out is out", they
might be referring to the state of a Cricket batsman who has been
dismissed so that he must cease batting, but continental people
understand this as "aus", "fuera", "en dehors", "fuori", "ud", "uit"
etc.<br>
In cricket, a batsman will be not out if he comes out to bat in an
innings and has not been dismissed by the end of the innings. One
may similarly describe a batsman as not out while the innings is
still in progress. So "out is out" may turn to being "not out" if,
for example the batsman hits the ball out for a Six.<br>

ps. I don't expect continentals at the European Commission to
understand that.<br>
