    Go home Davis, you’re drunk (again).



    (Sail to France for £1 though. Plus visa costs, private insurance, roaming charges, tariffs and vat on anything brought back, etc)

      I remember the days before the EU and everything was just grand. There was never any problem traveling through Europe, no visas, no extra taxes, no problems whatsoever. And it was a novelty to see all the different currencies with their 'funny' money. To boot we had duty free! Bring it on.......
      Back to business!

        Rose tinted spectacles there, I think...
        Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

            Yes, the war was great wasn't it. You just roll into whatever country you like and enjoy the local produce.

              Lol, shouldn’t reply to the sockie but, after the U.K. joined the EU there were also never any problems travelling through Europe, no visas, no extra taxes, no problems whatsoever. And, given that excise duty on a bottle of wine in France is considerably less than U.K. duty and you have a personal allowance, it’s virtually duty free.

              Not entirely sure what the sockie’s point is....

                  What utter bollox! You really are a dopey git

                  I travelled in Europe in the 1950s and 60s.

                  Had to stop at each border and only allowed 200 cigarettes and three bottles of wine.
                  If carrying tools or valuables such as expensive camera you need are carnet.
                  Caravans needed a Carnet de Passage.
                  For Greece, Carnet de Passage for car.
                  Green card compulsory.
                  Carrying commercial goods, need a pile of paperwork and delays at customs.

                  Currently I can pack the car to the full and drive freely for 2000 miles in Europe without formalities. This will change after Brexit
