The problem with the EU that would bother me most is that around 40% of the budget goes on agriculture - I note that every referendum poster/placard that I see on farmland is for leaving, yet I've heard nothing about what would happen to farm subsidies as a result. Is there an 'official' position on this?
In fact, I haven't seen a single Remain poster/placard anywhere.

Up until a few years ago you didn't need to be a farm to claim payments, I know of several people with gardens of 1 acre who claimed subsidies, of course in the UK we have a large population living on a small amount of land so few normal people would qualify or even realise they could make a claim.
It's not surprising you had all these alleged French farm owners up in arms, when in reality it was just a villager with a garden getting something for nothing.

Only leave placard I've seen was in a bin.

I saw a couple of UKIP Leave placards up at the start of the Marston Road and then the next day they were in the bin. I wondered if it was a disgruntled Remain supporter, or if the person who put them up had a change of heart.

Near the chippy? Thats where I saw them in the bin, seemed fitting.

That'll be them! They were on the fences of 1 Marston Road and removed the day after they went up. My new theory is that a tenant put them up and the landlord instructed them to remove them, since that's a shared house.
There's a shop (abandoned?) on Rowley Street that has had a UKIP sign in the window for the last few years and they upgraded to a UKIP Vote Leave sign recently.

In this major debate, we hosted former deputy prime minister Nick Clegg, who has long supported further European integration. Against him was Gisela Stuart, the Labour MP and chair of Vote Leave. No ‘little Englander’, she argued that Brexit is the progressive choice. But this was a debate with a difference. As well as our two main advocates, there were three special experts – who shared the findings of their research on the economy, law and immigration. In addition, there was a professional fact checker from Full Fact, an independent fact checking charity, who was on hand to resolve any disputed claim at the click of a button.
