That's all I can think of at the moment.
A lot of the fishermen on British boats are not British. Young Brits don't want to do the work apparently.

Why do work when you can be a YouTuber of reality TV star and get loads of money for being a dick?

And in other news:

Whilst this is mainly a Covid issue, it shows the reality of what we as British citizens are losing.

I know. I also know the fish aren't British and that most of the fish we catch isn't eaten in the UK

You're driving the wrong cars! Haha.

I'm a fan of cars and bikes. A car that's playful is a fun car. The Seat Leon myself and Cookie have is a decent little thing, lightweight by modern standards and with enough poke to have a hoot.
I'm with Bob, my 230bhp is Golf is blisteringly quick for a car and great fun, but it spends most of its time stuck behind two quarry lorries and a caravan! I've got both a Van and a car but if I had to pick one I'd pick the Van.

Bob, can we come to some other arrangement with the Saussison? Not the Van though!
I have a car too, it is a Citroen, silver and not very big.
If I want fun and don't want to use the bike then the air is my playground. I can fly all over the place in France without sitting behind a truck or at traffic lights. Anyone who thinks that a car is fun wants their bumps felt in my opinion.
Just read somewhere that UK residents are not going to be let into the EU on the 1st of Jan. I am in Dorset at the moment so have booked my ferry home on the 30th of December. I could not possibly send anything really French to the UK as it might upset the majority of the population who voted for brexit. I understand that it will sort itself out in time because the UK is looking for a trade deal with Andorra.

Unless it's a Saxo VTS then Citroen is your problem! Haha

A car is a tool for me 90% of the time but every now and again I'll go for a spirited drive.. it's my release. Sometimes the Wife and I will go for a slow drive down the lanes too, sometimes we talk, sometimes we don't but it always makes us feel more relaxed and on the same page.

The Department of Transport has announced the relaxation of the enforcement of the EU Drivers rules for drivers carrying food and essential items.

Nothing like having tired and over-worked drivers in control of 45 tonnes on our roads.

According to the Dover based haulier in my earlier post, it won’t be an issue since a lot of drivers won’t be able to make it pay transporting to the UK from the EU.

Just shows how they want to go back to Victorian working practises though.

UK drivers can still pick up freight though, which is what this is aimed at.

And without doubt workers rights will be eroded. Farage and his mates have been after this for several years.

Uk drivers will need a business visa to drive in the EU from January. It’s all going to add costs to what we import and export.

But as long as those millionaires who have bet on No Deal makes more millions then it’s Ok isn’t it? (facepalm)

If you think that I have never had a fast car in my life then you would be mistaken. When I lived in Germany, a place where you can actually use one, I had many.

My gf and me go out on our bikes and chat over the intercoms, great fun.

Don't you think all the bluster around the subject of fish, is simply our current clowns adapting their script from "Yes Minister's British Sausage episode".?
Fwiw I suspect that the shallow majority who voted precisely as they were groomed to, will only need a jingoistic punchline & an accompanying announcement of success to be satisfied that "all is sorted now".

I trust that our NCA will already be preparing cases meticulously. -As I understand it, their remit is to: " combat serious and organised crime, protecting the public by targeting and pursuing those criminals who pose the greatest risk to the UK. "
Imho this appears an entirely valid & pertinent target for their resources ? (nod)

That's one way to secure our borders. Make sure no one has need to come here.
