With the UK’s Brexit negotiations still ongoing, patience to reach a deal is starting to wear thin on all sides.

It’s also no secret that the whole Brexit saga isn’t exactly endearing Britain to its European neighbours – especially not to Germany, it seems.

This is nothing like the crown, it's much more factual.
