The bet is not just that we will rejoin the EU, but that it will happen in under 5 years.

Edit to add
Not a chance…
Yes I know.
Which the bookmakers are quoting at 5/1.
Which represents a 16% chance of happening.

Commonrail makes an incomplete statement of what bet was on offer.
That is pointed out to him.

And having successfully won that argument with himself he is roundly congratulated by others, who find it funny that some argue with themselves…

NI food exporters go through Republic to avoid British ‘land bridge’
Gary Lyons, a haulier who supplies both to Britain and the Continent, says clients who ship chilled goods to Europe are wary of delays at Dover.
"Beef, offal and dairy [producers] will not go through the land bridge,” he says. “Fridge people don’t want it to go out through the mainland because they’re scared.”
Another source in the haulage industry who specialises in chilled goods transportation said: “We’ve reacted to our customers’ demands that all our EU beef, lamb and other products that we export to the EU are shipped from Rosslare or Dublin directly to France.”
Separately, Northern Irish hauliers have struggled to fill their lorries on the way back from Britain.
In a recent survey of almost 100 businesses moving goods between Britain and Northern Ireland in January, Leheny found that almost 57 per cent had lower revenues and 63 per cent had experienced disrupted back-haul volumes, or loads returning to the sender. “It’s having a real impact on business,” Leheny says.
Another Northern Irish haulier who does not wish to be named says he is struggling to fill backloads. “We’ve had BSE, foot-and-mouth and the financial crisis, but this is the worst time we’ve had because there doesn’t seem to be a way out of it.”

I didn’t make any statement on what bet was on offer.
Bet Fred… did.
I simply showed their quoted odds as a percentage.
Point being…that whilst some people seem to be getting exited about the prospect of rejoining the eu…because Bet Fred advertise it as a 5/1 chance.
When expressed as 16%…it doesn’t seem as likely.
Delays importing and exporting goods to and from the EU have worsened since Brexit was introduced at the start of the year and will result in stock shortages and price rises for consumers, according to a report.
A survey of 350 supply chain managers found that two out of three had experienced delays of “at least two to three days” getting goods into the UK, compared with 38% who reported delays in a similar survey in January.
A third of this group said the delays were “significantly longer” than in January, 28% said “slightly longer” and 15% reported delays of a similar length to January.
Just 18% of those surveyed by the Chartered Institute of Procurement & Supply (CIPS) said they experienced no delays or fewer delays.
The survey comes as one of the UK’s largest chemical producers, BASF, reveals it has experienced “substantial friction” from the new trade barriers caused by withdrawal from the EU.
In a submission to the Scottish parliament ahead of a committee hearing on Brexit on Thursday it said its biopesticide business “has not exported successfully from the UK during January”.
It reported that drivers were being forced to sleep in their trucks for days at the UK Irish border and lorry loads being turned back on way to the EU because paperwork and mixed loads “seem to flummox port officials”.
And in an indication that Brexit is not a teething problem, it saId initial optimism about tariffs “has largely disappeared”.
In a separate submission to the Welsh affairs committee in the House of Commons, ABPI warned of an “unnecessary duplicative requirement” to batch test medicines coming in from the EU from 2022 in Northern Ireland and into Great Britain from 2023.
Unless a deal is struck, the current situation could mean delays of up to six weeks to get medicines to patients, the ABPI said.
Glen said business should brace for the delays to continue “for at least the next few months”, with an array of new checks being introduced in the second phase of the UK application of the Brexit deal on 1 April and 1 July.

NI food exporters go through Republic to avoid British ‘land bridge’ – The Irish Times
Any beef for France now has to go direct at the insistence of the French, they are also trying to push for vets certificates (although it’s an EU to EU transaction) which will increase the price of Irish beef, more to do with pressure from French farmers to reduce imports of meat from outside of France something that has been happening for the last 10 years.
Can’t comment on the haulier who says he is struggling to get backloads but we are having no problem one loaded on Sunday for Ireland and I loaded on Monday for home so the loads are there.
Hauliers whose business was struggling before Covid and Brexit are using Brexit as an excuse one Irish haulier who said Brexit was costing him losses of £100,000 per week in January conveniently didn’t tell the press that he made losses just shy of £6 million in 2020 coincidently roughly in the region of £100,000 a week.
Compared with hauliers from the ROI Gary Lyons is hardly a main player and certainly not in the fridge world, most drivers would rather go direct than go through the UK nothing to do with Brexit.
A lot of what you have posted in both your articles is out of date and from the first couple of weeks of Brexit with the odd exception goods are now being cleared rapidly and loads are arriving in Ireland on time, easier to shout and complain about the one load that is delayed rather than report the ones that arrived on time with no hassles
An interesting take on Brexit in this study.

Brexit seen as a quasi religion.
I do agree that a lot of companies are using as an excuse for their failing businesses.
I remember before covid. I think it was ToysRus and an entire host of other companies blamed ‘brexit difficulties’ as the reason they went into administration.
Maplin CEO blamed brexit for its failure.
The truth is the market is very volatile at the moment. Those who are not willing to adapt and change their businesses will fail.
Many local hauliers have been running the same contracts for decades and have no interest in growth or diversifying their clientele. They just want to maintain a status quo. The problem is when the market changes and say DPD dont want their trucks anymore then they are completely stuffed.
But a volatile market doesnt have to mean failure as change brings lots of opportunity for new ideas.

Yep. As already mentioned some are seeking to gain lots of new trade post Brexit.

Read the same story in a more neutral paper and you’ll see that the methods being used by the EU are bordering on illegal. odd that an organisation that continually preaches about standards can turn a blind eye when it suits.

And what is your point?
The EU is a trading group doing what it can for it’s members.
“Borderline illegal”? What’s that? In my book that is legal.

My point being that it is not all as it seems depending on where you get your information and if someone outside the EU was aggressively pursuing EU business they would not be so relaxed about it.
Yes the EU is a trading group but if it was such an ideal trading environment it wouldn’t need to pursue trade it would come to it due to it being such a friendly trading environment. The movement of financial services to European trading centres will increase the costs of those services to EU citizens, if these financial centres are so good why did the companies choose London over them? If the EU has nothing to fear from London why does it not give London equivalence in the same way it does to the USA, Singapore, Canada and Australia.
