plus a lot of the impact has been masked by COVID and various issues arising We didn't hear much about Brits losing freedom of movement rights for a year - but now we have people flying to Portugal and the UK press are howling about spiteful Europeans picking on Brits with "new" rules And that's only going to get worse (in both senses - a) more people will be affected as more flights resumed b) the self-entitled whining about the exact impacts of what was told - not only were such warnings dismissed originally, they are now even not even referenced - it's just simple Brits being picked on) the lack of learning from events is astonishing

EU nationals in prison like conditions when held at border Fishermen under a bus Farmers heading same way Apocalyptic forecast were based on many criteria - one of them being no deal. But a deal (of sorts) was reached Many of the elements of that deal have yet to be implemented on the UK side - so we shall see I'm delighted the very worst predictions haven't come to pass I'm still massively upset that so many problems have manifested themselves only to be waved away

Some, ostensibly, less dim people here but the same head scratching abounds And this last sentence - satire surely? https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/your-90-days-are-up-europe-tells-holiday-home-britons-76wqjpjq9

I thought antic already had EDT - might have been the very first Antic pub in fact But Antic did do some weird "split" to do with structure/money and he could have been a victim of that. Or was that the Lodge era (god help us) Anyone know where he is these days?

yeah - was a big fan of Ray Drum was on Northcross road where Monkatsu is now Not keen on TGE tho

Any number on crossover of "people exempt from masks" and "not taking the vaccine"?

way too much is forgiven by "left behind/in decline" Arguably, Scotland and NI have greater levels of poverty etc, but they are clear-minded about the perils of brexit (including knowing the Tories have been in power for 11 years and UK has lost ability to travel freely)

Regardless - why is it a Pub?s fault, any pubs fault if ice melts, or bits of cake fall off a table?

Monica Don?t believe everything you hear from the medical ?profession?. It may well be the case you don?t have a condition at all. Maybe seek out some natural, complimentary advice and medicine. Should see you right

The main thing to note with these people is this Are they cross with the people who lied to them? Nope They are the same fertile ground for anti-eu propaganda and sentiment they always were If I were a progressive sort, who wanted Brexit, I would be worried about where such misplaced anger might lead us

The fact that this is only dawning on them now, 5 years into the whole thing speaks badly of an Education system And Media Are they small in number, people who think like this? My guess is no. The whole thing was promised on lies of nothing changing, all winning. This is brits on holiday - but it applies to fishing, Northern Ireland and rest of it

The people quoted in this article. I mean really Why is it bad form to call them dim? What other word would be appropriate? https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/1437009/brexit-news-latest-spain-visa-europe-summer-holidays-british-expats-eu-tourism-latest

sounds unpleasant Monica out of interest, what would the medical outcome be if you wore a mask?

"Black Cherry, Inside 72, the Drum and Liquorish all gone sadly." of those that remain, only a few are even vaguely like what they were EDT Castle erm.. that's about it

My sympathies RonniJ it is amazing, isn't it, how many people who are medically "exempt" also happen to believe this is a government brainwash exercise

so Foxy, if I'm reading you correctly you are saying arbitrary nonsensical rules (such as colour of your car on alternate days) are equivalent to long-term plans to combat air pollution What would be a better way to tackle air pollution re: older cars? Drivers have more rules imposed because we cause more problems - wether it's congestion, air pollution, deaths, road rage etc -

Oooh and this is before I even get into the volume of people who think indicating is for suckers It?s the Wild West out there!

Chick. You?ve met me several times. If it was about this subject it?s possible i would be Written warnings etc sound reasonable but A) sheer volume of people doing this means it would be massively costly B) most likely ineffective I can agree that accidentally straying into a bus lane can seem overly harsh - but that?s at an individual level. At a city wide level it?s happening all the time And lastly, you didn?t start a thread asking if 65 Quid was a bit harsh for accidentally slipping into a bus lane. You said council are putting up cameras as nothing more than a cash grab. You say you aren?t advocating breaking the rules but it?s happening by the minute. That?s the real issue If it was ONLy An accidental and occasional driver doing a whoopsie there wouldn?t be a problem and there wouldn?t need to be such strict penalties. But we are where we are

I see it all over lockdown as well as places open up for takeaways There I go every weekend, park at the free (after 5pm anyway) , near empty car park about 50 yards away from the pub/restaurant. Then I walk past several cars all parked up on double-yellow lines, blocking traffic on a narrow street lazy, entitled (and in my experience, aggressive) tossers is this related to financial penalties? It';s all breaking the Highway Code and if they were fined for this behaviour they wouldn't hold their hands up and say "it's a fair cop guv" - they would just moan about "revenue raising"

A bit literal whoeveritis I don?t really want them jailed or fined. But whatever ?punishment? is meted out its self inflicted. Be respectful of other?s space and time, abide by the rules you signed up to when you passed your test and everyone?s a winner. No entrapment. No fines. No jail. No silly threads

My other half has a small limited company and after years of More accounting software https://www.moresoftware.biz she migrated to QuickBooks https://quickbooks.intuit.com/uk/ Which she much prefers That being said, QuickBooks is cloud based, whereas More is in insulated program on Windows - which can be a dealbreaker for some people (personally every time I looked at More, it looked like a VBA program from 1997, but that's just me. Maybe it's been upgraded since)

People who leave litter and drive badly Fine them both to hell. Jail Em Just make them stop

There is no revenue! If you don?t break the rules you learned. I have never paid a penny. How much have you paid? If it?s nothing them there is no revenue If it?s lots then you are just a bad driver When my way is blocked by someone in a junction or parked on double yellows I want them more than fined

If something would fail your driving test, don?t bitch about getting fined for same thing

No infraction no revenue This isn?t hard
