I went to Spain this week and despite what the anti-Brexit scaremongers on here said……

[Mottie]

I wasn’t held up by the Spanish border control/passport staff.
I didn’t need a EHIC card because that had been replaced with a GHIC card
I enjoyed free roaming on my mobile.
It I’d been driving, I wouldn't need an international driving permit
I wouldn’t need a green card for my insurance
Have I missed anything out?

Oh, and on my return to Gatwick, no huge queues.

 

[Bod ...]

No... I think you have covered all bases.

Your exchange rate was a lot worse than pre Brexit. They stamped your passport and you can't stay longer than 6 months.

I think its 3 months

Your exchange rate was a lot worse than pre Brexit.

So Mottie spends less money and the Spanish suffer for it.

No winners really. Apart from the British tourist industry.

He spends more for the same holiday he had some years ago which ws cheaper.

No winners really.

Are we discussing Brexit or Mottie's holiday?

Apart from the British tourist industry.

How's that work?

 

[ReganAndCarter]

Mottie should have saved his money. It's been scorchio here. First week/10 days in Sept is always good.

 

[gas112]

And while your away a European company invests 300million and opens their biggest warehouse in the world so much for they wont invest here

In order

He spends more to get there but spend less while he is there on wine women and Paella

Yes mottie and millions of others.

So let's say a Frenchman or maybe a German, they get more £s for their Euro . They spend more money on Beer women and Cockles.

How's that?

Have I missed anything out?

Brexit always was and continues to be, a huge pile of unwanted, UK harming, shít.

 

[IT Minion]

I think its 3 months

Three months in six. Which is generally enough for most people but worse than it used to be and terrible for some.

The exchange rate means he spends more, not less.

The reverse is true for visitors here, apart from the inflation/cost.

Any figures to prove uk tourism is benefiting. I seem to think they are saying the opposite

 

[Bod ...]

Three months in six. Which is generally enough for most people but worse than it used to be and terrible for some.

So +3 -3 +3 -3.

not true. 90 days in any 180 days. If you want to stay longer you simply get a visa. Its not hard.

 

[carmanmemoranda]

not true.

Which bit isn't true?
