What a silly country we live in.

Apart from the shipping and transportation problems mentioned in the three links - there have been others.


Financial Services

Not covered by the Brexit agreement. Already Euro 6 billion in daily City of London trades has been lost to Amsterdam and Paris - in the Euro dominated market.

Food

Meat, cheese and fish have rotted at ports - because of the extra documentation now required. Health Certificates - now mandatory - are often unavailable.

Internet Purchases
