As from 1st January travellers will no longer be able to take 2 or bring back from certain foodstuffs from mainland Europe.
Lorry drivers will be particularly badly affected. Many are self contained in their cabs but will not be allowed to carry cheese, dairy or meat products from the UK to Europe. What alters on the 1st Jan to make foodstuffs unsafe is nowt, other than Europe being childish about us leaving !?!?! :-\
It has long been illegal to transport food etc. from African counties and non-Europe countries ....... supposedly to stop F&Mouth and anthrax in particular.
I can't see the above being a problem for us until about Easter but worth looking at your plans for transporting food especially those that have properties in France and Spain. There will be changes in the Green Card system too.

We are leaving the EU not Europe (unless you think that we will be located on the other side of the world from Jan 1st). The EU is not being childish. We will simply be bound by a multitude of new rules/regulations due to no longer being EU members. It was the choice of certain UK citizens....... ! ???

I have always been English ;)
-
Really hope all four nations stay together too :'(
-
It isn't a United Kingdom now that governments have been devolved. But someone should have looked ahead and got all together so that the country is locked down at the same time.
-
It's because we have to be punished for leaving the EU. At least they haven't started burning live sheep again yet. Perhaps it's time for a tunnel to Holland so Macron can't throw his weight about so much (small man syndrome?).
-
A lot of Welsh don't feel like that ...........
The Pet Passports are going to alter to.
-
Oh god yes sheila, I remember that,when the French protest,they PROTEST.
-
They can protest as much as they like but deliberately burning live animals is beyond the pale.
Warning non-pc joke.
Why is it that all the fish in the English channel belong to the French but all the migrants belong to the UK? ;D
-
True. Absolutely ..........
This hold-up at the Channel on our side is due to Brexit most likely. Lorries are headed into the UK ......... go figure. How does the mutation suddenly become a problem - any drivers who have travelled into France will have carried it already :-\. Horse. Stable door. Bolted. Again?
-
Not Spain unless you take your skis :o
-
No plans are possible....
Hurdity x
-
Some ski resorts are open for locals. Restrictions will hit this area of tourism a lot.
-
We had a cruise catalogue arrive this morning >:( - someone's sold my mailing address >:( >:( which bit of 'stay at home' don't they get :kick:
-
Have you seen all the ads on tv for holidays,saying jab and go,bit misleading to say the least
-
Matt Hancock said all over 50’s should have had their vaccination by the end of April. So if we get 2nd dose at the end of July we might be able to go away Sept/Oct.
-
I hate how holiday companies are offering 'offers' for those who have been jabbed >:( - ah, you got there B4 me jaypo ;D
-
The problem will be, if the countries we usually travel to, will also be up to date with vaccinating everybody, or they won't let us in? I don't think there will be much travel this year either, unless you can take time off to quarantine, or afford to pay a fine :(
