Mercifully, 'stoop'. As Bozza seems reluctant to be heavily engaged even with his own children, the likelihood of him adopting a little **** seems somewhat remote.

Does the CSA still exist? If so does Boris have his own advisor?

I'm not sure if the missus would entertain that thought, but maybe worth a punt. Always had a thing for Les Dames Françaises.There are still many french ladies to marry, you are welcome

We have another winner.
UK couple in EU (Bulgaria) for almost 6 years. Only the wife had residence (expired for 3 years). No local or private health cover. Working as a ‘builder’ under the cover of their non-trading company that owns their residence. No tax payments or company declared as trading. UK driving licence (card expired). Using UK originating van on UK plates. Van registration long cancelled for no MoT and No Insurance. No current local vehicle insurance. No tax or NHI paid in UK for 7 years. Stopped for a minor traffic offence and all these details issued from that single event.
Blames EU and now glad he voted for Brexit. Did not ask for help, but demanded it. Seems to think it is my ‘duty’ because the police contacted me after getting zero from UK embassy staff. Anyway, gave him the contact details of a few excellent, experienced, successful, and very costly English-speaking lawyers, and have now taken a sharp step back.
A colleague from Italy told me that for her, and others in Spain, it is becoming an almost monthly event. Also if you call UK consulate in Rome you get directed to a call centre in Madrid. But if you are in Spain and call Madrid you are answered from Frankfurt

This has nothing to do with fish, that surely has been obvious for a while? The EU is a tangled mess of countries with very different economic priorities and needs as the discussions are showing. The French are clearly after the UK's financial services business and the Germans need to protect their manufactured goods export industry. These choices are at odds with each other. This could go either way and all depends how much the Germans and Dutch for that matter lean on the French and offer them some backroom deal on CAP or something.

Sorry Phil; this is a collection of urban myth stories jumbled together to try and make a point that it starts of making about Bulgaria and ends up in Spain! There is no context to any of it and no possibility of fact checking any point trying to be made. What is the point of copy and pasting straight from Facebook?

Agreed let's keep things factual and only post truly researched information .
Unless it is stated as humour.
That should stop the needless abuse and ire.

You Brexiters will be please to know that on the way to work this morning I did not see a single queue of lorries stacked on the M20 ready to cross the channel by train or boat.
See, I can do a balanced Brexit post.
Oh, it was only 9am though!

But well done on balanced posting

I'm back in UK for Christmas self-isolating for 10 days. Getting through customs was murder at Brussels-Zuid for the Eurostar, checks and searches, had to show Passenger Locator Form got a wee ticket to give to UKBA agent at St. Pancras, more checks and searches there but a bit more cursory. Total change from last journey, almost walk on/walk off.
It's really happening, folks.

I've a friend who owns a haulage firm in Dover, and he's literally cannot get drivers in Belgium to bring loads back to the UK, as the drivers spend so much of their time sitting around whilst checks are being done. Therefore they end up earning less. He's had to go over there and drive a few loads back himself.
He has a lovely Magma Rosso Centennial Strad as well.

Thinking of bringing this over to the UK and sell Fish out of the back of it.
