I've had visitors this year who have brought laptops and macs over so that they can do work meetings who haven't had any such issue

well yeah, i'm sure its not strictly and consistently enforced, just trying to understand if its even a thing (in theory or officially) or if i've misunderstood
eg) Take goods temporarily out of the UK cos i'm taking my stuff to eu in a couple of weeks and only just heard of it.
i saw it here but dont know whether its true or what.

The Labour position on the leave vote would have to explain how the land border between the two different systems would work.
I would assume a Labour activist might attack me for raising the issue rather than come up with a post leave vote solution.
If Labour had any idea how they would resolve the land border conundrum they would’ve been shouting it from the rooftops.
They aren’t because they’re delusional wankers on this issue, maybe not quite the lexit and ukip cunts, but not far off.

I recall this issue being raised on here ( and on Twitter) before tbh a few months ago.

this doesn't make sense. any labour activist worth their salt would rip you to shreds over it as saying 'we're not taking the uk back into europe or the single market or the customs union' is a result of their position on the leave vote. and they'd doubtless say 'we have to see what we have when we return to power or write our manifesto for future elections, we can't talk about hypotheticals on the border mechanism until we see how they look in 2024 or 2029 (the latter if they're particularly honest) as we know the position is likely to change over the course of the next 2 (or 7) years'

The existence of the land border between the EU and the UK has not changed in the last six years.
At the moment it is wide open, and the UK has not left the EU as voted for.

From what i can see, there's so far not been a single known case of anyone being charged or fined or whatever for failing to have a carnet, but there are plenty of people saying that they have needed to buy them in order to take their equipment tools etc with them from Uk to Eu for a work trip.
It's very unclear imo, seems a case of all is fine dont even think about it until one day a customs man doesn't like your face or is having a bad day and then its not.
Never mind though. Like this response (to some remoaner moaning about having to buy a couple of carnets), puts things into perspective.

It's bollocks.
In theory you could need a carnet (temporary import license) but in reality you don't, any more than you've never needed one to take your laptop to the US and so on. When I travel I have a laptop, (£1800), iPhone (£1000), iPad (£800), watch (£600) and so on. Never once has this been raised by customs, they are clearly personal effects and business tools.

Just checking back on issues previously raised here, has the chronic shortage of frozen petit pois in the UK been alleviated yet?

But you do need one for a musical instrument ? Or is that just in theory too. Are the people buying carnets for trips to eu idiots? It’s all a bit confusing.

No. Just a laptop & it’s not worth £1,500 so am exempt , even in theory. I think.

Doesn't the possibility of musicians finally being able to make a living abroad after several years of being totally fucked over by Brexit cheer you too?
Not that it's likely to happen any time soon, mind.

When I could get them, I stocked up so have not had to buy any for a good few months.
Fresh veg still seems to be a bit thin on the ground though.

Did you know that Batchelors make two different tins of mushy peas, one produced in the Uk and one made in Ireland and the uk one is much smaller? things that brexit has taught me.

yes! everyone else thinks they're disgusting which they are not obvs.

absolutely shocking behaviour thats 120g less of peas we get, and they have the temerity to claim that both tins contain 3 portions. The fact that the Irish ones are being exported to Eu now whilst we have to carry on buying the miserly British ones is pretty tragic tbh.
eta i have sent batchelors an email enquiring as to why this injustice is happening and will notify thread if any poor sod there is obligated to reply to me.
