Brexit dominates the news agenda each day, and it's fair to say some just want the issue - the most controversial of our time - done and dusted, no matter what.
But there are certainly many who still care passionately about what happens on or after October 31, the date PM Boris Johnson has promised to bring the country out of the EU "do or die".
Similar to within the political sphere, the world of business is also hugely divided between those wanting a deal with the , no deal, or Article 50 being revoked.
And while the majority fear what they say would be a damaging no-deal likely to put jobs at risk, threaten peace on the Irish border and cause delays in trade, there are still some business giants who are open to the possibility of a no-deal, or would even welcome it.

Emma Walmsley
Despite Emma Walmsley, CEO of GlaxoSmithKline, saying last month she did not want to get into “any political commentary”, she is known to be against a no-deal.
She told last month: “What matters, and what has always mattered, is the continuity of supply and distribution of medicines and the consumer products people need. We’ve been consistent in the view that no-deal would be a bad outcome, but mainly because it moves us further away from what we want to see, which is deep regulatory and scientific co-operation between the U.K. and the EU. So, we’d like to see an agreement as soon as possible.”
Mark Carney
One of the most vocal supporters for remaining in the EU in the run up to the referendum, Mark Carney, the governor for the Bank of England, recently said a no-deal would mean a “real economic shock”.
He earlier this month: "Instantly, you have supply disruptions but you actually have businesses that are no longer economic."
