Brexit 12 months on: Public split over what will come next
Political editor Peter Madeley speaks to the people on the street to find out about their fears and hopes for Brexit.
"I'm confident we will eventually get through Brexit, but there is no doubt it will be a long and difficult road."
The words of staunch Eurosceptic Norman Uzzell, who says he is worried that the 'weakness' of Theresa May's Government may have a negative impact on Britain's negotiations to leave the EU.
The 75-year-old from Fordhouses, said: "The Remainers keep acting like a load of wallies in the hope that if they kick up enough fuss they can get another referendum.
"In my eyes they are not democrats. This was a democratic vote and people need to let the Government get on with it.
"Theresa May dropped a few clangers in the election, which worries me because her position being weak might give those calling for another referendum some hope."
He added: "I don't like the negativity of the BBC about Brexit. It is as if it is the worst thing in the world as far as they are concerned.
"And then you have the Bank of England guy, [Mark] Carney. Every time he opens his mouth the pound nosedives."
His views are echoed by 43-year-old health and safety chief Christopher Dyke, who voted to leave the EU.
"The country voted for a pure Brexit, not some watered down version where our borders remain open and we are still in the Single Market," said Mr Dyke, from Dudley.
"It is as sure as eggs is eggs that unless the Government sorts itself out there will be trouble in these negotiations.
"Here we are one year down the line and we still don't have a clue what their plans are for leaving the EU."
Trainee pathologist Amber Matkowski, 24, voted Remain in the referendum and says she is concerned about the impact of Brexit on her chosen career.
"I think leaving the EU is a terrible idea and I am worried about how it will affect my career prospects," she said.
"The EU has certain structures and regulations in place that benefit doctors. For example they fine hospitals for making you work too many hours.
"Without laws like this we would be reliant on our own Government and I don't trust them. I think leaving the EU will eventually screw up our whole health system."
Ms Matkowski added: "The [Brexit] negotiations have started but there doesn't seem to be any real structure. The whole thing seems to be a complete mess."
Jackie Taylor, aged 74, from Eastfield, voted Remain in the referendum but says she has since been swayed towards the Leave side.
"I voted Remain because I thought leaving the EU would be too complicated and would change too much about Britain.
"But when you look at Britain's history, we were once a self-sufficient little island with great industries like steel and coal.
"When we were out on our own it was much better in my opinion. Who is to say we can't bring back those days when we are out of the EU?
"The problem is that the Government has done nothing since the referendum. They have had a lot on their plates...the terrorist attacks and the election...but Theresa May looks like she is not up to the job.
"That is worrying when you think she is supposed to be the one to guide us out."
