GB sticker no longer valid

[vetran]

Don't worry they are instigating a new sticker for the faithful.

I LOVE being the EU's biatch.

You haven't been abroad have you?

He is abroad, which is why he thinks it's perfectly fine to racially abuse the locals...

Saw my first UK sticker on a British van in St Moritz today.

Not for gammons as they don't travel oversees anyway

You haven't been abroad have you?

I thought gammon was gender-neutral and thus awfully progressive.

Fraid not..

The archetype of a red-faced, angry, pompous, jingoistic, and stereotypically British right-wing male has been in present in popular culture since the mid-20th century, with the character Colonel Blimp first appearing in 1934, in newspaper cartoons and in the film The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp in 1948

It's been used as far back as 1604 as well so I doubt it was designed to be progressive but there are other words who's meanings have completely changed over time I guess.

It is because of leaving the EU and you say nothing to do with brexit. Do they have a name for female gammons?

There was a rash young lady pig
They said she was a smasher
She suddenly ran
Under a van
And now she's a gammon rasher.

So there you are. A rasher.

The first change was Brexit related - there was no way UK registered cars could use the EU flag any more. That came into effect when we exited the union.

This new change is not Brexit related as we could have stuck with GB but HMG decided UK should be the country identifier.

Why is that so hard to fathom?

Call me what you want you want but you're the feckless idiot not me

Nothing to do with Brexit you pillock.

It changed from EU flag with GB to UK flag with GB when we exited the union. That was some ago, not this week.

Now HMG have changed it from UK flag with GB to UK flag with UK because GB excludes Northern Ireland whereas UK does not.

Not for gammons as they don't travel oversees anyway, but us remainers who like to go abroad, we now have to buy UK stickers for our cars as GB is no longer valid (Makes you wonder why wasn't it UK in the first place and will it now be Team UK at the Olympics)
