Barryd999 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Today will be the day to watch however according to this the UK wont be implementing checks until July!!! (lol) https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20210104-uk-s-brexit-plans-to-be-tested-as-festive-period-ends Of course they wont.

Right ... So all those promised delays and shortages were/are going to happen during the busy summer months or sumat ??? ... Give us a clue will ya and then I can stock up with grub and you lot can get ya depression tablets stocked up Summer, who mentioned summer? Use your nous, the same as everyone else has to. You voted for it. Errrr ... I mentioned summer ... Summer I presume is the busy months so I presume thats when your delays and guff is guna start ??? Is it earlier, later ??? You guys are the experts, you guys are the ones who claimed this, that and t'other ... Do tell Experts? More hyperbole! :-D I just read, watch, and listen. It has been reported widely that the period immediately following Christmas/New Year sees less cross-channel goods traffic than the norm. The traffic is expected to resume normal levels as we go through January. So, as I said, just give it three months - which doesn't get us to summer - and then see how it's working.

Barryd999 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 News at lunchtime reported from Dover port. All going ok but they are as said just waving everything through but and this is important, the amount of freight is just 10% of what it normally is. 2% so far are having issues with the wrong paperwork etc. Thats pretty good actually but what effect it might have once at full capacity remains to be seen.

Ciaran the courier driver posted about the new Rosslare - Dunkirk route operated by DFDS with the first ferry docking. Looks like it will prove a godsend for truckers who celebrated as they drove off the ferry flying French, Irish and EU flags in appreciation!

Dover freight is only at 10% but if the plan is to just carry on as normal until July then maybe there wont be a problem incoming at least. I suspect Johnsons deal will just be the death of a thousand cuts rather than an immediate hammer blow to the head. A lot of business has already packed up and left for the EU. A slow trickle of Jobs lost due to Brexit over the past five years will continue (I think its nearly half a million now) but most of it will just get blamed on Covid now no doubt. I dont see any Sunlit Uplands coming though. In fact I dont see anything positive so far from what can only be described so far as a "meh" Brexit.

We will survive but will be worse off in almost every respect. What we have is a deal that please very few people. Its a good deal for the EU in more respects that it is for us but only in the sense that its slightly less damaging for them than us. So far all I have seen is EU traders just closing up shop selling some goods to the UK because of the new collection of VAT at source rules, UK Fishermen sold down the river, EU Financial share trading transferring itself to the EU away from London, stuff like that.

CurtainRaiser Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 A day in the life of haulage. Rosslare-Cherbourg. capacity 360. Number of HGV's=360 Dublin- Holyhead. capacity 251. Number of HV's =15 Sunday 3rd Jan 2021 Zeebrugge - Tilbury sailing normally 160 units of freight (unaccompanied mainly) shipped 19 units, abnormally quiet, even after Christmas. How much stock will UK warehouses still have in a months time? Between Ireland and EU a load in transit with a value of €50,000 needs a supplier lodgement to bank account of €30,000 to avail of "transit" via landbridge. It is also requires now 12-15 hours slower and part of the UK queue when it returns. Direct to France removes payment and any paperwork. And traffic from the UK to northern Ireland? In other news days after Brexit and just after NI Secretary Brandon Lewis declared “there is no Irish Sea border”, scores – and perhaps hundreds – of products are disappearing from Northern Ireland supermarket shelves because of that new border, it can be revealed. https://www.newsletter.co.uk/news/politics/days-after-brexit-many-products-vanish-sainsburys-northern-ireland-and-are-replaced-spar-brand-3085106 Just saying....
