Of course? Of course! Look, you try to travel in France without any official paper, no ID, no passeport, no Visa, no wallet, no cell phone, no nothing…*Of course it takes a while. Ask bauble and try this in Pakistan, and you'll see how fast our trains are. When you find one…

It's tough being a politician. Half your reputation is ruined by lies the other half is ruined by the truth ! " I'll get my coat"

Here is my youthful view, just get rid of the lot of them. The people should govern themselves. Not those who really don't have a clue of the lives of the many or don't have the bottle to do what is necessary in these unique times to say the least.
As I sit on a bench in the bitter cold that is this country at these times, cold in its manner and how it acts. The warmth will come, but it needs someone to ignite it, not another yes or no with no plan or understanding of what it takes to get the actual plans they talk about so frequently and fill peoples mind with. We have no leaders who would guide the warmth and it has turned to the cold Will. I do have a different approach of saying things. Extreme in my views I know. Maybe I made some of you chuckle . I certainly maybe or maybe not have a more unique view but just thought I contribute my own thoughts simple they may be on the matter. Great Escape Bob. Great one there. Zulu aswell. They don't make em how they used to. |

So, Simon H started this thread on 20th August 2018 to discuss the effect leaving the EU could have on our hobby / business......
Today’s the day- or is it? As far as my reading of the present situation is concerned, nothing will change until the end of the year, while we (and the EU of course) enjoy a period of grace. So no IDPs, no extra customs docs and your EHIC is still valid for this season, at least! All sounds good, but as one of the better informed car mags has observed (and I found in the latter half of last season), be prepared for some confusion on the mainland as customs officials and Border controls are re-trained, increased in numbers and are adjusting to Brits not being part of the community any more. If there’s any paperwork easily obtainable, such as insurance green cards, CMR notes or IDPs, may be an idea to carry them regardless..... |

From experience, there will be big change ahead, but the uncertainty changed the day the announcements were made. We experienced this in Cork a couple of summers ago, where we were attempting to open a bank account. We already held accounts with the same banking firm in the UK, and Italy. At the time, everything within regulations permitted us to open an account, and we had all the necessary documentation. The bank clerk advised that, in 2018: 'unfortunately, because of Brexit, I do not think it appropriate for me to open an account to a British Citizen. I don't know whether you'll be allowed to keep the account after Brexit happens so I do not want to take the risk now' |

Mike, I think your last point is well made. Even over the past years I've always obtained a green card. An int driving licence is also easily got.
I do understand the concerns regarding border controls but with this grace period one hopes the organisations will get on top of them. I feel quite excited because I'm sure this whole thing will bring new opportunities and let's look at it holistically. These days whilst europe is still somewhere to race, transport improvements mean even New Zealand is not beyond the bounds of possibility. And of course those with experience of sending cars to those locations will also know what's needed to cross into europe. Let's also not forget the proposed Freeport which if placed correctly will re energise places like Grimsby, Newcastle, Glasgow and Hull. Also the possibility of re opening the fishing industry and returning to use, some of the railway lines (Fleetwood was in the news this week), will be unfettered by the EU rules of government support. So it's not just about our sport but this year could be quite exciting. CRM. The bank was talking complete bullocks. I've opened bank accounts all over the world. They just need to take cognisance of tax and transfer costs. Since the account would be in Euros any transfer would be subject to exchange rates into Sterling and possibly any taxation. I've had accounts in Netherlands, Italy etc. Also Middle East and Far East. Why would Brexit be a hindrance? Last edited by Peter Mallett; 31 Jan 2020 at 09:08. |

Why would Brexit be a problem? Because people want it to be.
Brace yourselves for price rises "because of Brexit." The same thing happened over decimalisation, it was used as an excuse for racketeering. I feel more confident now than a year ago. The Blessed Theresa didn't really want it, and we were (deliberately?) woefully prepared. I believe now we will be fine. FWIW I'm as foreign as I've been for years this weekend.

'Because of Brexit' was an easy line to trot out, and it was obvious when challenged that he was just making up excuses on the spot. |

One if my credit card providers had to pull the plug over a year back as the card was backed by an Irish bank. The suggestion was that our EU withdrawal was the reason....

Eventually, one day I tried to use it to pay a hotel bill in Germany & it was refused. Luckily I had other means of payment. Upon returning home I had a letter from them stating that they were unable to service overseas addresses so would be terminating the account - this despite being called Citibank Europe. I duly cleared the outstanding account & thought that was that, until I received another letter from them, signed by the same person, stating how sorry they were to see I had chosen to close my account and would I like to re-consider? I didn't bother... |

Yup. And that should make no difference. If one can transfer an HSBC account from Dubai to the UK then surely within geographic europe should be no problem.
