A man is selling bottles of ‘Brexit air’ so people can ‘remember what it was like before we left’.

Richard Reynolds has already sold some bottles of Southsea air for up to £10 a time.

Now, he hopes to appear on the Dragons Den TV show with his bottles of Brexit air in the hopes of getting further investment ahead of March 29th when we leave the EU.

Richard said: ‘We are getting some Brexit air, it will be limited to 500 jars for March 29th. They will be a memento so people can remember what it was like before we left. It’s a little bit of fun.’

He’s hoping the Dragons Den will love his bottles of air.



To get the exclusive Southsea air, all he has to do is take the tops of the bottles off and then screw them back again in the seaside town.

The 54-year-old hopes his business will encourage people to shop on the high street.

He said: ‘I was down the pub and I saw that someone was selling bottled air to China and I thought I could do it.

‘I catch the air in special jars and put a lid on it and sell them. I sell them for £2 in Aurora Coffee Shop in Albert Road, Southsea, and £10 online.

‘It’s a good way to get people to come into the high street…it’s five times more expensive online. My hope is that it will make people smile and giggle a little.

‘I won’t say that the money I make will go to charity because that’s boring. I will use the money to fund cocktails and beers at the pubs.’

He even says he’ll make Dragons Den bottles of Brexit air if he gets on to the show.

‘I’m going to take 1,000 jars, already pre-branded, and a fan – I will catch the air in the jars in the Den and then I’m going to sell the jars’ he said.

‘One thousand bottles of limited edition Dragons Den air for £50 each. I think people will buy it.’
