Well thankyou v much kind Sir....I might add,,sailed the atlantic both ways in a 35ft yacht,,,spent months sailing coasts of Europe,,months sailing Carib islands,, so yes,,,have met a few characters!!.
DP apparently voted to leave the Europe that he (according to you) cycled around..
What a great choice for an example of a person being a 'good judge of character'
Could he cycle round Europe again after Brexit?
Of course he could...
But in the event of a no-deal which he appears to favour, it will be reliant on:
If he pays for an online visa (ETIAS), as will shortly be required for 'third countries'...
Makes sure he has adequate private health insurance (currently covered for free by EHIC)...
And of course if he can afford to do so given our crashed currency...
Heaven forbid that he would maybe like to take a car to the continent with all that would entail...
Or fund his journey by the odd spot of work whilst over there (which many of us have taken advantage of)...
But luckily the duty free limit will be re-imposed, thus he'll be able to carry his entire allowance on his brexit bike!
But hey ho - that's what quitters voted for
Yup, DP will probably go cycling with his best buddy Ellal

Oh no, will have to get a visa - like for other countries out of the EU if people wish to explore far and wide. Not such a big deal really for travel to the EU, esp when its €7 for 3 years. What's that, £3 a year?Of course he could...

Travel insurance has always been recommended for travelling to any country as far as I know, in fact I've just found this on the NHS website:
"The EHIC is not an alternative to travel insurance. It will not cover any private medical healthcare or costs, such as mountain rescue in ski resorts, being flown back to the UK, or lost or stolen property. It is also not valid on cruises.
It is therefore important to have both an EHIC and a valid private travel insurance policy in place before you travel".
If retired people living in Spain or whatever, then am sorry for them and it just sucks for them. But that's life, things change and they are of the age that probably voted Brexit anyway.
Driving after Brexit? International driving permit... are they hard to obtain? I have no idea, but if that hard, am sure people wouldn't bother...
Yay for duty free!! Lol.
Seriously, I don't want brexit, but silly things like the above do not phase me as they are at worst, an inconvenience. I'm more concerned about the economy and the split this country is suffering.

Excellent value of the EU!
Hmm, not such a good idea. There are reports of the Post Office being inundated with applications and being unable to cope.
But your idea of just ignoring the requirement is both dangerous and downright silly.
Once a few UK drivers had been pulled over and checked, and fined or arrested, and their vehicles impounded, their trips in tatters, all UK drivers will be thoroughly checked on entry, more delays. In fact, prior proof of entitlement to drive in EU might become a requirement, like the visa.
Or we could all 'get on our bikes'.

That whole post contains bugger all, has been misread - again, you've made a point that has no bearing on what I actually wrote, ('actually bother' meaning people would not drive abroad on holiday, not drive without a license). You've brought nothing forward, just you trying to attempt to belittle as well as say it's all doom and gloom and the UK won't be able to cope.Excellent value of the EU!

Good job you weren't around in the war with that mentality.
You quite clearly suggested that people would not bother with the IDP (International Driving Permit)That whole post contains bugger all, has been misread - again, you've made a point that has no bearing on what I actually wrote, ('actually bother' meaning people would not drive abroad on holiday, not drive without a license).

You were absolutely referring to the obtaining of an IDP.
If you wanted to suggest that people would not bother to drive in EU, then your post was poorly worded.
So resort to insults and abuse all you want, it does not alter the obvious.

You started this whole shebang.
If in future, you are unsure of what I meant, try asking me to clarify before you go on a patronising attempt to point score.
Conversely, if you post a vague or easily misunderstood ambiguous comment, and someone does misunderstand, then do the gentlemanly thing and accept that you were too ambiguous, instead of immediately resorting to abuse.If in future, you are unsure of what I meant, try asking me to clarify before you go on a patronising attempt to point score.

You started the attempts at point scoring on something you got the wrong end of the stick about. You did it yesterday too, and many more before.
Based on a poorly worded post by Bodd.
Because his post was so poorly worded, afterwards, I looked again to see if it could have been misconstrued. It was, and we both corrected our misunderstanding and mistakes, because we both realised that a misunderstanding had occurred.
Your post absolutely referred to the licence and not the driving. If you worded it poorly, that is not my fault.
You persist that it is my fault for your poorly worded post. That is an example of not accepting your own mistakes.
Now if you had done the sensible and reasonable thing and explained that you had poorly worded your post, without resorting to abuse, I could have accepted that. But your resort to abuse, and refusal to accept that it was your mistake that lead to the misunderstanding is unforgivable.
