You started out ok in this thread, but eventually hit form and started abusing other posters. That's when I highlighted you for what you are. I love the way you are trying to recruit mods now, you poor little innocent thing. Ciao xx
I hope you mean it that you are going. I am getting a bit cheesed off with your wind up comments. Please leave now or I might take action that I don't like doing. As you are not a regular Watford poster it would wipe you off the entire site.
Pound sours to highest level against the dollar since EU referendum, also up against the Euro. Pound soars to highest post-EU referendum level against the dollar as dovish Bank of England policymaker backs rate hike hopes
The head of the UK tax agency has said Britain could need up to 5,000 extra staff to handle customs and border checks after Brexit. HMRC boss John Thompson also said a new customs arrangement with the EU could cost as much as £800m and take seven years to implement. As an expert I guess he will be ignored.
Hopefully it will also create much needed jobs in Pas-de-Calais, a well known deprived area and Front National stronghold.
Yes you are doing your best to transfer business across the Channel one way and another. Still as it will take seven years for the UK to sort that problem out, by the time it does there will be a lot less trade going through the ports.
Those Spanish tomatoes might be rotten after 7 years !! Trade between the UK and the EU has been steadily decreasing for years. This trend is bound to increase in pace as free trade with non EU countries kicks in. We don't mind creating employment in France, the French don't seem to be able to themselves.
We had the regular doom mongers somehow saying sterling's temporary decline indicated Brexit failure. I'm just pointing out the strong recovery of sterling to the USD over the last few months.
The increase in the value of the pound vs the dollar is about the state of the US and the potential for war with Nth Korea as opposed to some validation of Brexit.
You don't get it do you mate. The current number of Customs transactions from non EU countries is circa 55m per annum. Post Brexit when we exit the customs union that number will increase by 200m. Even if over years more of those goods came from outside of the EU, the total number remains the same.........
Any delays will increase the viability of UK grown tomatoes already producing 20% of UK consumption. The taste is meant to be better as imported ones take a week to arrive. A few low paid EU workers on short term contracts and Bob's your uncle!! UK's largest tomato greenhouse is really making the grade for local ...
Most of that business can be handled as it is now with non EU business with pre presentation of docs. No need for any delay at the docks.
It is more to do with the underlying strength of the UK economy and the likely interest rate increase later this year.
Try actually researching the subject mate. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/u...omy-1-billion-a-year-armageddon-a7867841.html https://uk.reuters.com/article/us-b...-frictionless-post-brexit-trade-idUKKCN1BP20J https://www.ft.com/content/f308e8bc-994f-11e7-b83c-9588e51488a0
The potential for an interest rate hike has stopped traders shorting the pound which has seen a slight increase against the Euro. The inflation we're currently seeing is solely due to the tanked pound and our trade deficit, and nothing to do with an over heating of the economy. Our consumer lead economy is fragile and the talk of interest rate rises is just that imo, as they'd be counter productive. The inflation rate will level off and they'll hold the rates, which is why it was still 7-2 at the BoE yesterday.
I have a lot of experience in the industry. These reports are just asking for a known system way before the leave dates. Much of the extra business will just be an extension of the present arrangements. Companies have time to explore alternatives and practices will change.
You didn't bother reading any of them did you? I import £m's of pounds worth of goods from the EU, and the time factor for shipment doesn't allow for pre-authorisation as it would when you've got cargo en route from New Zealand which takes a month
