Watched it as off this week
, and the poor Romanian lass who hadn’t cleaned her teeth for 3 days apparently , she was fuming , can’t see her forgiving the frogies for a long time for that
It’s precisely the appalling behaviour of the EU in the Brexit process that endorses my decision to say farewell - absolute shower - Tusk Barnier Macron drunk on power - playing games.
Their problem is that there is a lot of discontent in Europe so we have had all this nonsense to serve as a warning to any other country who has the cheek to tell them they’re rubbish and they want out of their gang.
It’s a despicable way to treat blokes who are just trying to earn a living and what makes it worse is a handful of posters saying “It serves them right for the UK to have voted to leave the eu”.
But then Remoaners aren’t exactly rational.

I once dated a girl who suffered immensely from PMT, as “the time” approached she became increasingly shrill and unbalanced. I’m seeing similarities here.

Well you couldn’t possibly trust anything that bleeds for four days and doesn’t die!

That’s what you call a conversational cul de sac.

What hype is it youre referring to? There will be extra "paperwork" to do. (Maybe electronic, but it will be needed) There are extra Douaniers employed, they arent going to sit around on full pay doing nothing. Apart from the Gov Douanier there are clerks both sides of the channel doing there admin work. None of that is without cost. And it isn`t just the EU demanding extra docs, shipments of some agricultural goods into the UK need certs of origin, particularly “organic” or “bio” foods.
Clement Beaune:
europe1.fr/politique/brexit … ne-4014556
Predictably as Johnson say the UK has a good deal, so all EU leaders will claim they have a good deal. Well see the truth later. But Beaune does say there will be more checks. Maybe there will be no tariffs due, but that doesnt mean the borders will stay as friction free as in the past.
Grab yourself a cup of coffee to sip when you go down to the freight deck mate!
Yes there will be extra paperwork , but as you say electronic.
Let’s remind ourselves on how it was with T-forms, Carnets etc, long queues of drivers both sides of the channel,
waiting to get the said forms checked and stamped.
Now it’ll be a barcode being scanned and a case of carry on or park up over there.
If all the details on the douaniers screen are as they should be, no problem, exactly as it was then.
How many times did I have to ring the agent, because some numpty forgot to cross a T or dot an I.?
And in Calais, there were no explanation, it was just a case of the paperwork being thrown back at you and for you to sort out.
Many times because I spoke French, I helped out a Brit who didn’t know what was happening and why he was being refused entry.
Douanieres then and douaniers even now, were and will be as awkward as they could/can be.
Looks like it was now a case of horse and stable door [emoji849][emoji49]
Meanwhile, France has confirmed the first case in the country of the more contagious coronavirus variant identified in the UK. The French health ministry said the person was a French citizen in the central town of Tours who had arrived from London on 19 December.

The irony of this brings a smile meanwhile those contagious truckers had a positive rate of 0.23% 36 positive results in 15526 compared to a positive rate in France 6.2%, now tell me that Macron wasn’t making up for a deficiency in his underpants’ department, shamelessly abused 15,526 drivers for his own means yet the variant was already in his country as anyone with any sense knew that it would be.
You have to also remember that at the end of the T form era, there were thousands of Douane who were about to lose their jobs, they were redeployed as roving border agents and ministry of transport inspectors, they can be re-redeployed as customs agents now.
I was stopped numerous times in France by the roaming border agents or the Douanes , they could set up a random checkpoint anywhere and at anytime .
You could have a laugh and joke and they were impressed I spoke fluent French so we would take the Mickey out of each countries politicians and leaders .
I got pulled by two motorbike Douanes and escorted in to the checkpoint under blue lights to the mobile X-ray scanner.
Got stopped a lot for running on a Sunday ban , but the onions from Pobla in Valencia was ok with a perishable agricultural certificate from the supplier.
Had their sniffer dogs all over the cab , and one time I could not turn off the ignition, I could have stalled it but decided not to , in case the clutch went , so I left the engine running for a nap in a lay by halfway between Rennes and Nantes .
I woke up to a full on Douanes control and surrounded by all their vehicles, bang bang , they knocked hard on my door, and accuse me of running the engine for a quick getaway .
As I was heading southbound, they decided to ■■■■■■ me northbound to Rennes for a full trailer strip out , every thing unloaded by fork lift.
As soon as they found nothing , they literally ran away .
The permanent Douanes on the toll booths or peages from Bayone to Hendaye were a pain but as for Spanish Customs in Irun , you would never see them doing controls .
I only saw them once doing fuel checks for farm fuel running in lorries .
On another occasion before the Saturday night ban started I decided to have the week end off at Arachon to see the Grande Dune de Pylas or the biggest sand dune in the world so I exited the main route south of Bordeaux .
It’s now gone past 22.00 , the ban has commenced and I’m still driving to find a good place to park up then the Douanes pull me over for a full search of my load of groupage .
Curiously I asked why they have air tanks in their 4x4 patrol vehicles and told its to re inflate their tyres after patrolling on the beach looking for washed up drugs thrown overboard from boats and ships, so their tyres are soft to prevent getting stuck .
I do find it a bit comical all these Brexiteers moaning about whingers and moaners when Brexit supporters are Olympic level moaners, they’ve been doing it donkeys years. Even now when you’ve got the result you want most Brexiteers seem to be obsessed with ‘remoaners’ instead of their beloved Brexit. I know for the likes of many of you and Nigel Farage positivity is an alien concept but at least have a go eh?
