six months after the vote that came as a surprise to many, our reporter michael cowan has returned toe full film earlier. here's a short extract. we first came here six months ago. our country had just voted to leave the eu and it was summer. but are people here still excited about brexit? what is more important to them? is it access to the single market which involves much the same as we've got now? we pay into the eu and in exchange, we get to trade with them, but we have to accept freedom of movement. that means unlimited numbers of eu workers coming to britain to work. or is it this — complete control of our borders? because the only certainty we have here is that we cannot have both. does it concern you when you hear things about the economy? for example, going on holiday already costs more money because the value of the pound is low. why not holiday in britain? there's some beautiful holiday destinations. this is one of them. if people were putting more money back into our own economy, rather than feeding everyone else's economy, this country would thrive. come to great yarmouth
