#1 Sony, however, will not move personnel and operations from the existing UK company to the Netherlands, and "the only change we will make is the change of registered location of the company", he added.

#2 Consider poor Airbus; they have just recently discovered the coming Brexit and now have their panties in a knot because most of their wings are built in the UK. And there is currently no sort of agreement between the UK and EASA for airworthiness approvals.
Several other major aerospace companies also have business units in the UK and also haven't got a plan for post-March 29 festivities.

#5 Totally OT thanks to Sony for a cheap, ugly all-in-one CD player whose freakishly pleasant sound (merely a lucky accident, as I learned when I went to replace it) made a good chunk of the '90s more tolerable.

O oh-so-euphonious Sony,
No box less expensive or tony,
But never more faithful
A friend playing plates full
Of Bach have I known, no baloney!

#6 Last Christmas I got a nice little Sony audio system with tuner, CD player Bluetooth, line in, line out, USB interface, remote for not that much money. It may not be a hot product, but it was just what I wanted.
