No idea tbh. Probably cheese. Or the £10 coffees? I think many were transiting through zurich to get elsewhere cos it’s cheaper than flying direct.
A thank you to Brexiteers.

Switzerland is completely ridiculous but has its charms (am a bit Swiss so know it quite well). Incidentally whilst there I chatted to a couple of randoms who when I mentioned uk politics in a passing way just laughed, not fake laughter just genuine spontaneous amusement at the absolute state of us.

Randoms?

Yes. That’s what young people call strangers isn’t it idk. Oh I see typo.
We are a joke country now, is the point. This Tory election show is just adding to the comedy of watching your once respected neighbour shoot itself in the foot and then go on for six years pretending it doesn’t hurt at all and was a great idea and not in any way a mistake.

Big term in Manchester as it goes.

Fair enough but some friends of ours are taking their kids to the BMX world championships in Nantes and 2 bikes + luggage is only really doable sensibly with a vehicle, just one example. And they left yesterday so I imagine the trip was horrible.

Horses for courses but two of the best holidays I've ever had were West Wales to Croatia and West Wales to Finisterre by car. Helps if you have 6 weeks like...

It’s just the most recent of an increasingly pathetic array of responses that say ‘anyone negatively impacted by brexit is a shit kind of a person anyway so who cares. ‘

They are a bit middle class though tbf. But one of the guys travelling with them isn't so that complicates matters as to whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.

Yes of course. I think when I was younger , in my late teens or early 20s I would have done a car trip to Europe and often thought about doing one in the states. Now the idea just doesn't appeal what so ever.

Sorry to disappoint but actually that wasn't what I was saying and quite unnecessary of you to infer it was. I can't stand the idea of traffic jams and a car load of people whether the hold up is in or outside the EU. especially on holiday. I've also got no hesitation in condemning both the UK government and the EU for the way in which Brexit has been implemented.

It looks like it’s due to our government Getting Brexit Done but expecting other people elsewhere to pay for it. We need to get our UK passports stamped now, upon entry or exit to any EU country (to prove we haven’t overstayed our visas), which for the time being pending robot advances means we require extra time from border staff wherever we are going, but we want that extra time from them for free so here we are.

How would you have implemented it to make it be great?

Seeming as the airport are fooked as well due to the airlines thinking it was a good idea to lay everyone off during the pandemic and then try to rehire them on less money
You been queuing and waiting around if you drive or fly
Just with extra queuing for British tourists

In relation to nothing much at all, I realised the other day that dyson must have supported brexit (before he moved production to Singapore) because of the chance we’d get a loosening of those eu laws about super powerful hoovers. Export the things outside EU and let the nhs deal with the fallout when people have the naked accidents.

Nice thing at Luton airport last night, when the luggage carousel spat out the first bag after an hour of waiting some people clapped & cheered.Seeming as the airport are fooked as well due to the airlines thinking it was a good idea to lay everyone off during the pandemic and then try to rehire them on less money

Remarkably similar to "we're going to build a wall and make Mexico pay for it"
I don't think that came to much either, but the maga mouthpieces will reel it out on the election trail.
Exactly the same playbook.

Not sure I follow the Brexit analogy. Is Rees-Mogg both the hoover and the cock?

We live near Dover and the traffic has to be seen to be believed. We went to Lenham for a friend's birthday last night and the queues of lorries on the motorway were miles long. Nothing new there really (at least since That Which Shall Not Be Named happened) but also absolute gridlock on loads of secondary roads all around with cars trying to get into the tunnel or Dover itself. Luckily we could avoid most of it, had to go up on the verge to get round some, but people were outside their cars and looked like they hadn't moved for hours.
Came back at 11 (god bless Waze for taking us down country roads to avoid it) and they were all still there. Looked like they'd be there all night tbh.
