Well your ability to travel wont change

Not true at all considering free movement of people will absolutely not be allowed. Thaats means however minor the end result is it will not be as easy to travel to Europe as it once was.

Even a US ESTA costs some money, requires a more awkward queue to be part of and only allows you in 3 out of 24 months. That's a relatively simple process so I have no how you can assert it will be still as easy.

Travelling to Europe now is no different than it was 20 years ago before the free movement of people. You still have to show your passport at the airport when you arrive. That was the same in the 80s, 90s 00s and now.

Hmmm I be live it when I see it and more importantly when someone explains when that isn't free movement....

As a British citizen you are free to travel to many counties (many outside the EU on your passport alone and without visa's. Free movement means you can travel and WORK in another country within the EU without restriction. So before you could travel to say West Germany and work but you would have to register that you were there to work and not just visiting as a tourist (watch an old sitcom call Auf Wiedersehen pet about British builders working in Germany in the 80s)

When you fly to an EU country you have to go through passport control, that has always been the same and has not changed.

You do know that before 2006 people did travel to Europe and also work there? I did.

 

[ncurd]

Well actually we've had free movement of people since 1973 when we joined the EEC got nowt to do with 2006.

As we are not only leaving the EU but every European instition it stands to reason we won't keep those rights. Especially as anything that sounds like anyone can enter the UK regardless will be a front to Daily Mail readers.

I wonder how long it will be before the old nostalgia brigade start saying we should return to imperial units as if johnny foreigner is using metric and Britain was great when we used imperial, reverting to imperial will make us great again.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Well we kind of still do use imperial measures - drink pints and drive in miles.

Only in specific cases and that's largely down to nostalgia. Everything is bought in litres outside a pub, measured in kilometers for non-personal use, in grams and kilos apart from our own body weight, in meters apart from a persons height and in cm apart from a certain body part.

Hey very important we keep our pints over what they have in Germany - half litre jars. I prefer the extra 68ml - be it of head or extra beer. .

Ho hum, another day in Brexit paradise.

Roll on March 2019 when it's all done and dusted, and we can find something else to get upset about.

You can also get litre jars here.

Yeah had one of those, but always found the beer got too warm by the time I reached the second half litre. I like to savour my beer. Half litre jars are perfect for me.

By the way compliments to the beer in Germany - must go back there again to savour your Helles and Wheat beer.

If your beer got too warm, then you were drinking the wrong beer

Word more importantly you can't ***** about European measures if you drinking that swill.

Swill?... They're talking about German beer!

Exactly, if it isn't ale or stout, then it isn't worth drinking.

Which German beer would you suggest? I was drinking Helles in Munich in one of their litre jugs. To be fair I'd had a skinful by then. Still don't think litre jugs are the right measure for beer, whether it be British ales or German beer.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Pilsner or Weissbier own your ales. I'm a fan of both but the best beer I've ever had was in Germany, gorgeous stuff. They don't have a strong cider drinking population in Germany either which immediately makes them better than England in this regard!

The problem with German beer is the mind splitting hangover it gives you the next morning. Its second only to Bosnian Pivo for its make you feel like a Zombie whos been stabbed in the head qualities.

In the East, it could be the COLDEST New Year's Eve on record. Perhaps we could use a little bit of that good old Global Warming that our Country, but not other countries, was going to pay TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS to protect against. Bundle up!

Althought he lack of rambling, comparative lack of excalamation marks, and lack of basic spelling errors makes me suspect that this was written by a staffer
