Please help. Love and kisses Your friend Boris” So let me see if I have this correct; rather than confront threats of Loyalist thuggery Johnson wants to cobble together a fix. How very predictable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Paramilitary" groups are just fronts for protection rackets, people trafficking, brothel keeping, smuggling, money launderers and drug dealers. And always were. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Jean King Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 It covers mussels, cockles, clams and scallops but no mention of lobster, langoustine and crabs.They are not bivalve molluscs hence a different entity.

aDONisSheep Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 1 hour ago, Jacksgranda said: What gun-happy unionists? Easy tiger, you seem to be affa touchy. I'm not sure where you're going with this. There is a body of 'loyalist/unionists' that have been deemed a credible enough threat, which has caused both the UK and EU to stop sending their staff into work (on the grounds of their own safety). It's not new news, over a week ago, rumblings of loyalist discontent were reported to the Northern Ireland Affairs Committee. I admit, they might not be 'gun-happy' they might actually be 'bomb-happy' or just 'violence happy', any which way you cut it, I'm not really sure I'd like to defend those making the threats.

The more things change, the more they stay the same; That’s brilliant. I love the logic of having to spend more on petrol because you don't get the mileage in kilometres. And 10 years in the war seems unlikely. It never occurred to me that decimalisation was associated with Europe. I hope we don't go back because i've very little idea how many chains are in a furlong or bob in half a crown. If we could adopt babylonian style base 60 though that would be great and not European at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were 8 furlongs in a mile (probably still are, I suppose), but I don't think I ever needed to use chains, although "chainage" rings a bell from my student days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NUMBER 7 Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 For 27 years, our company have sent an artic to Northern Ireland to deliver to our customer base there once a week. For 27 years all you had to do was book the truck on Stenna or P&O there and back. We are not sending over Food Spirits Tobacco just products for use in the Vehicle Building and Engineering Industries. Since 1st January the increased paperwork between online declarations, adding EORI numbers of Consignor and Consignee, Commodity Codes, obtaining shipping approvals via Government Gateway, details of packages and weights to each Consignee, has become a full time job for someone three days a week. It is ridiculous. We are travelling from one part of the UK to another, there should be no need for all this shit, all we as a company want to do is provide a service and try and make some money. If this is what happens as a result of Brexit, god forbid the mess there would be if we ever became independent 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
