Latest News On Bi-Valves & Their Pals: Brittany Ferries to travel to Cornwall to take fish and oysters to France
Sorry It’s Only a Cornwall Lies story but as far as I can tell it has legs.
Following a meeting on Wednesday (March 24) between Cornwall Council leader Julian German and Loïg Chesnais-Girard, president of the regional council of Brittany, it has been agreed that Brittany Ferries will regularly travel to Cornwall to take stocks of fish, crabs, lobster, oysters and other Cornish produce to Roscoff.
Brittany is a major importer of Cornish seafood – as well as being hugely popular in Breton restaurants, fish and shellfish is transported by wholesalers in Brittany to other parts of France.
Following a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Cornwall Council and Brittany Council on Wednesday, officers from both authorities will now work together on the logistics of the export plan – the EU policy side of which will largely be handled by Brittany. The export of Cornish goods could start as early as next month.
Cornwall & Brittany have a shared language & similar culture so looking positive for us
AND The existence of Brittany led to the name Great Britain (Grande Bretagne) to differentiate it from Brittany (Bretagne)

UDI for Kernow and Breizh soon then? Sort out their own trade between themselves.
They can`t circumvent EU regs regarding bi-valves can they?
No need for the 700-ish km road drive via Pompey or Poole ferries. But what is different here to the existing (except for COVID) Plymouth/Roscoff ferry route?
Just randomly…
Lobbing this in.
The EU used it’s collective bargaining power to prioritise driving down the cost of vaccines. This was successful as the EU is paying half of what countries like South Africa are paying, but it’s the wrong strategy.
Cheap vaccines that you don’t have are useless.
Worth noting that the EU still hasn’t signed a contract with Novavax while production has already started in the UK.
Just sayin’ like.
Although I find ■■■■■■■■ particularly distressing, on the other hand, if you can step back a little it’s as good as watching Monty Python.
What a ■■■■■■■ larf:
Now, we have discovered that British HGV Drivers are limited to 90 days a year in Europe due to our esteemed leaders citing the end of ‘Freedom Of Movement’ as one of the major successes of ■■■■■■■■. - - - -You couldn’t make it up, not even if you were Nigel Fartage.
You can just see the pre-trip briefing in the Traffic Office, "Here’s all your paperwork Drive, let’s just check how many days you’ve got left on your passport - Oh ■■■■, you’ve got enough time to get to Munich but not to get home even if we fly someone out to changeover."
Shouts to his mate "Is Stanislovski around?, we need him or another EE to do Joe’s run as he is out of ‘Months’ "
Or worse, Joe sets off without checks and is looking to park up around Munich, he’s a few minutes over his driving hours when he gets pulled by Herr Old Stumpenfuhrer Bill, " Hallo Inglishman, can I see your Tacho?? Oh I see you are a few minutes over your time, are you looking for somewhere to park up?" - "Yes Herr Old Stumpenfuhrer Bill, can you help me find somewhere" says Joe.
“Of course follow me I’ll show you somewhere nice & quiet away from all those smelly EE drivers, but before we go let me see your passport please” - - - “Hang on” said Joe “its in the cage with all the paperwork” eventually Joe extracts his passport from underneath a pile of groupage paperwork and hands it to Herr Old Stumpenfuhrer Bill, who studies it carefully and declares “Inglishman, I was intending to turn a blind eye to you exceeding your hours but ■■■■ me - not only have you exceeded your hours but you’ve exceeded your ■■■■■■■ months as well. Now follow me to our secure parking area”
So Joe, thinking all is probably OK and the office can sort out any problems, sets off following Herr Old Stumpenfuhrer Bill, after half an hour - which got Joe wondering - there was a sign which said ‘Stalag HGV Colditz’ and at which they turned left into the courtyard of a Castle that looked straight out of a WW2 Film set.
Not so bad after all, he thought when he saw all the British wagons parked up, and to make the drivers feel at home the Guards wore British RDC Uniforms, so when they demanded his keys and showed him to the ‘Waiting room’ he felt at home and not suspicious. Looking up he saw faces peering out and then the nostalgic words of the Brexit Theme Song to the tune of Colonel Bogey caught his ear.
Eventually he was shown to his room on the 5th floor and being absolutely shagged by not only being over his hours, but also 6 weeks over his months, he fell fast asleep on the horsehair mattress, only to be awakend a few hrs later for breakfast and free association.
At breakfast, the main topic of conversation was: if only they had gone France/Italy they could have used traditional trade items to overcome their problems. Fortunately, there was a posse of Stobart’s Drivers there who reminded the others that whilst they weren’t very good at going under bridges they had luckily spent time with Stobart Air and with any luck could fly everyone out from the top floor.

There’s a Youtube Video about it that is also worth a view https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0htuvskoMFo
Irish Ferries to open Calais to Dover route. Irish Ferries announces new service on Dover – Calais route.
A 3 operator ferry route! Do they know something you remainers don’t or are you still believing that there is no future and no trade relationship between the UK and the EU?

that there is no future and no trade relationship between the UK and the EU
Isnt it the Brexit side of the argument that we are better off trading further afield? Isnt it the remain side to say we do have a very strong trade with our nearest and biggest partners? And that putting obstacles in the way of that trade is not a good idea?
What are you saying?

I am saying what I have always said…the UK is the worlds 5th largest market. We have comercial buying power that will never be shunned by buisnesses in the EU regardless of the bullying and tantrum throwing seen not just by the EU commision but also by certain “leaders” of fellow European nations.
Also I have said to give Brexit time to sort itself out, but oh no you, and WS take great delight in headlining all the mishaps on the road.
So again I ask, what does Irish Ferries see that you don’t/won’t■■?
msgyorkie:
So again I ask, what does Irish Ferries see that you don’t/won’t■■?
I imagine they see that trade between the UK and EU will continue…After all we are dependent on imported foods, and the EU is our biggest supplier. No matter there are delays and expenses from Brexit, the EU is and will likely continue to be our biggest trade partner.
It doesnt matter that we will pay more for those goods because of Brexit, it doesnt matter that increased costs will decrease our exports, our biggest trade partners will likely be the same.
Maybe Irish Ferries see that a ferry service to Singapore, Australia, or Canada isn`t a good business plan? Maybe they are correct.
We’ve had a timely reminder that Boris, Truss & co’s plan to replace EU trade with trade with Asia, is not only adding massive distance, BUT one of the weakest links: i.e. the sewage canal, can & will from time to time cause problems with long distance trade.
Of course, that can benefit the Trucking Industry, I was on one of the last ships in the last convoy to get through the Suez Canal in 1967, little did I think at the time that 7 years later I would be on the return journey down the Red Sea coast, but this time in my own wagon going to Jeddah.
There could be multiple reasons for Irish Ferries choosing this route, it could even be that some ships are not suited to the longer but direct route from Eire to France/Belgium, but suited to short sea routes, it could be a case of choosing a route to suit a ship(s) due to changes in trading conditions.
Plus there are all sorts of disruptions in shipping at the moment, highlighted by the shortage of containers & massive hikes in sea freight rates on many routes.
500 unemployed are due to arrive in the UK soon. Direct result of Brexit.

Maybe those aren’t all unemployed persons? Maybe they were after a better work/life balance?
Shouldn’t we as drivers, many doing long hours, be more aware of this?
Well, look at post Brexit Britain and the direction we are headed

Keyword “risks” plus written by the TUC hardly likely to say anything else when a conservative government is in power.

No surprise really I’d agree.
Certainly doesn’t make them wrong, either.
Just the TUC pointing out what is happening to those who choose to listen.

If the TUC spent as much time looking after workers as it does getting unelectable candidates to become leader of the Labour party then it might be in a position of power to stop whatever they think might happen, plus have a larger and wider based membership.
Supporting Ed Miliband over David when it was clear to all those outside of the union fraternity who was the better candidate then replacing him with Corbyn and even now McClusky sniping away at Karmer you would think they never want to have any influence over government policy again.

Pointing to what you perceive as faults in the Unions or Labour party doesn’t affect in any way what the Tories are doing.
And what are they doing? The UK currently has better rights in some areas than Europe and the fact that Europe is changing doesn’t mean UK rights are being diminished.
But as I pointed out if you keep on selecting unelectable people how are you going to change things you perceive to be wrong?

Unfortunately, almost anyone challenging the Tory/UKIP party is unelectable, until the Billionaire Newspaper owners like Rupert Murdoch & Tax avoiders like Reece Mogg are made to follow some sort of code of conduct whereby alternatives are given a fair press, rather than the twisted vitriol they currently face.
The treatment of Corbyn relative to Shagger Johnson is a prime example, and I say that as someone who has never voted Labour.
So to very slighty even things up here’s something for the local elections:-
