Brexit,actually the UK has come out rather well.

[Gubbins]

yes, there was a vote last year... the UK (we) voted for this.

Oh. Sorry about that. Usually when I start an argument/discussion with a remainer I am pointedly told "it's what you voted for" It's not often your side will admit to any responsibility for the result. Not meaning any offence but I find the tone of your arguments similar to those of the remain polititions during the debate who spent far too much energy attacking the other side instead of countering their arguments.

It'll be checked at customs, or do you think it won't be?

I used to import PC cases from Rotterdam and Hamburg before the Single Market, there were hardly ever any delay due to inspections.

Things have moved on a bit since then! We had a parcel inspected last week and it came from Austria! So they are already tightening up.

You try importing as a business, its a different game.

Back in the 80s, about one out of 10 consignments by roads got pulled for inspection but did not cause much delay.

Back in the 80s I suspect (I can check) but I doubt the UK imported as much as it does now from within the EU.

Also, lets just assmume your estimate from back then, runs today. 10% of all imports into the UK by road are pulled for inspection. Dover wouldn't cope with even that small amount. Cost of doing this? Cost to government, cost to consumer... for what benefit?

they are a business just a illegal one n there not cheap either for a decent one

I suspect the percentage that gets pulled has always been there and won't change because of brexit.

Based on what??? Your trust in the French not suddenly wanting to check all UK exports into the EU is based on what??

If we leave the single market, no one in the transport and distribution shares your optimism, that I've found.
