    So did i mate (and many others).
    I even had relatives that managed to go and live in Italy, France and Germany. God knows how they managed that back in the days before freedom began <laugh>

    Before the UK joined the EEC I worked at a company that traded with Europe. He explained that they made things for the UK market and adapted them to sell in Europe if necessary. He didnt see it as a big deal. You would think that plenty of exporters would have markets which preferred things in a different way to the UK market so if they wanted to get sales they would have to adapt. People seem to think that if the EU has certain rules for the Single Market that is all an exporter should think about. They don't realise that French people may not want exactly what Polish people want.

    If you cut your own leg off it doesn't mean you can't go up the stairs. It just means you're an idiot for cutting your leg off.

    Why are people comparing what Europe was 50 years ago to what it is now? Your Government is advising you to take travel insurance, you can't travel unless you've 6 months on your passport, you have to declare taking cash (even to NI lolz) the EU isn't just the Single Market like it was when yous old feckers were in your 20s

    The general attitude seems to be that, leaving the EU, has somehow magically taken us back to 1973 with everything just how it was then.

    True, people are soft and thick now.
    Filling in a form on line is far too much bother, god help them if they had to fill in a paper one and post it <laugh>

    It's because immature people can't imagine life different to being in the EU.
    Do you think you shouldn't get travel insurance if you travel abroad?
    You can travel to the USA without 6 months on your passport. You should complain to the EU - it's their rule you don't seem to like.
    You don't have to declare taking cash unless it's more than 10,000 euros or equivalent.

    I like that advert, where they try to convince people, that the upcoming changes to trading with the EU and the new exciting monumental form filling, are a positive step.
