[QUOTE="H200GT, post: 7401562, member: 669"] Well its certainly nothing like some of the doomsday post brexit predictions which included fuel shortages, food shortages, huge tailbacks at the borders and civil unrest. Not seeing any of that are we. I concede that there are issues at the borders with trade, especially around the documents needed for imports and exports, but by and large goods are moving and I am not sure what the NI situation is currently like, things may be a bit more difficult here. There were some stats in the papers over the weekend suggesting trade is down over 50% compared to last year at the borders, but I suspect that most of that is due to Covid not Brexit, after all if there was a demand for the goods but border restrictions were holding them up then it would be all over the news, and some of the UK news outlets would love to hype this up if the were given half a chance. It may well have been a different story if it wasn't for Covid, its done a great job in suppressing world trade and I suspect the lower demand is helping things at the borders at present. Overall its early days, and whilst not perfect, its certainly not the poo show it could have been [/QUOTE]
