Nothing. You are still the greatest poster on CUK.

Ah - I know what I've gained. The warm glow of sovereignty. Oh... wait... no, ... it's just i've peed myself. Oh well.

Well at least you are keeping warm in the post brexit wasteland the remainers predicted.

The expiry date on the passport is ten years three months from when it was issued. Those extra three months no longer count.

Just had a look at the government's website - apparently you can renew online now using a digital photo.

The one I've just replaced was 10 years and 9 months. Issued in Feb but supposed to expire in Nov. Lots of countries aren't accepting these extended passports so I sorted mine out in December as it didn't have sufficient left to go anywhere.

EU VIES VAT number validation stopped working since UK dropped out and they enforced block on API requests with requestor being UK

Nothern Ireland had their own code created for them!

On that KPI I have to say that Brexit is a roaring success!

6 months. The Home Office's got it wrong on their website.

My passport isn't usable 3 months earlier than it would have been.

Brexit was an opportunity for BJ and his cronies to get into government.

Brexit was an opportunity for BJ and his cronies to get into government. A massive ploy that made the public believe that Brexit will make them more wealthy but instead was nothing but an attempt by BJ, Gove, Sunak, Patel, Rees Mogg etc to grab power shamelessly.

Not taken much notice of the changes, but the cheese/meat one .... does that mean all those Brits that head to the continent each year in their motorhomes cannot take food with them in their fridges but have instead to stock up when they've crossed the channel?

Probably same for booze etc too

You sure about 3?
Gibraltar has just joined Schengen.

And EU quotas are still and will continue to be enforced. The only gain for the UK is who can catch 25% of the quota.

That was kind of my point. EU nationals can just stroll across the border while the British will have to queue for passport control.
