Are you saying that none of this happened pre-Brexit, Rude?
I think there are many scare stories about that are just that - stories.
I was a working man for around 10 years before the UK joined the EEC and I applied for many carnets for companies I worked for with no problems and little cost working with Chambers of Commerce.
I hear all the comments made by remainers about the horrors of the UK not having a trade deal come 2021 and what will happen to British exports. I always ask the question of what Mercedes, BMW and VW/Audi will do with all the cars they export to the UK under such circumstances. We should remember that the EU sells more goods to the UK than the other direction (and I am referring to goods, not services). I am sure the level headed Germans will ensure we have suitable trade deals in place in time.
