Brexit and contract work.

I tend to agree. We're still implementing EU directives on product conformity, etc, simply because we sell product in the EU. Any business that exports goods or services into the EU market will still need to comply with EU regulations.

Yep same way the US companies/banks has to comply with some EU regs if they need to trade with Europe

It all depends on the deals. If the USA wants a deal and part of that is we have to lower standards for other things then that's what will happen. Chlorinated chicken and beef full of steroids are just a couple of examples.

The EU won't want those things making their way across from the UK so thinking there will be no border checks is crazy.

The real reason we're having Brexit is because of the new regulations on money laundering and tax avoidance coming into force on 1st April. All the elites were fearful of losing a wee drop of their offshore stashes.

And they'll be able to spell whisky correctly...

They'll always spell it with an 'e' as that is the way they spell it from their gaelic. They won't be able to call it Scotch though unless they do away with geographical indicators, which they will, because the USA wants to produce and sell Scotch, Stornoway Black Pudding, Cornish Pasties, etc.

Not just the name, but also free from any restrictions on proper aging, etc.

Market forces will sort it out. Will the Great British Gammon be affected?
