      Would that have anything to do with the fact that both the RoI and the UK aren't in the Schengen area?
      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.

        Yup, for UK being out of Schengen zone is a massive loss from Chinese tourists, greedy Govt wants visa revenues to themselves and in the end it costs whole country dearly.

          There was Fahan, Fahan Jnct and Fahan Pier stations on the L&LSR, on the line to Carndonagh, my main interest was the L&BER, Letterkenny and Burtonport Extension Railway, cracking 4-8-4T's and and 4-8-0 Tender engines, huge for narrow gauge...

              UK got border controls and they should be kept, it could have allowed people with EU Schengen visa into the country without requiring UK visa - checks for guns would have remained the same as they are now (do they check everybody with EU passport driving car in???)

                I went to NI with my Dad in the 80s and I remember customs on the border to the ROI was a bored bloke in a hut who waved us through without looking up from his paper. There was a much scarier army checkpoint where the men with machine guns searched the car.

                As you drive into the channel tunnel there's a sign that says 'declare any firearms here'. So that's the country safe.
                Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

                  75% out.

                  Yeah not sure that's really gonna persuade me or the millions of other people in the UK that voting in is a benefit.

                  You are voting out, right? 😁

                    It's between him and the ballot box.

                    This is not the Scottish referendum where you can threaten people who want to vote a particular way.
