What a load of Horlicks. If this is the way it’s going to be it’s going to be an funny old year next year. Getting very petty now if this is a sign of things to come.

So what the UK will need its money kept in this country
for a while.Good thing for the UK tourist industry and all
those sheep farmers which might need to diversify.

I think more Brits spend their money in France than the
other way around so must be worrying times for you.

It's good a thing. Nothing to do with brexit. It's to stop the spread, we've had the same restrictions internally.

And cutting down on travel should help the cause viz z viz climate change, although the millions of gallons of aviation fuel used doesn't seem to attract as much attention as cows farting.

As someone who in a normal year would do 100+flights but hasn't done one since Feb, does it make a sh!t of difference?

I expect if you let a couple of herring fall out of your passport they'll let you in.

Couple of Weeks camping in the UK rather than France suits me fine... Get half a days work in before one hitting it anywhere in the country...

Might even get up to Scotland for a change... spend the ££££s rather than Euros customers keep giving me.

Oh dear!

Dont worry we can still go to ireland

 

[bobk]

What a sad thread , not the initiative but the gloating manner in which it was posted

 

[robs1]

6.5 million brits go skiing every year the huge majority to france, italy and Austria, if each person spends £500, which is probably an underestimate that's 3 billion lost to the economy of the EU. Plus all the summer visitors

 

[JeepJeep]

And to be totally honest I cant see Brittany Salted butter vanishing form Morrisons any time soon... So I couldn't give 2 hoots not being able to spend my money in France.

OK looks good. UK does same I presume to French citizens. Straightforward. Welcome to third country status. Simples.

What a joke. All you remainders must surely be sick of it now, look how petty France have become. The EU and France in particular have acted like a load of petulant children from day 1 after the vote. So ridiculous and no other country should be treated this way just because it's citizens voted leave. I hope other nations in Europe take note. Fudging joke the lot of them.

Does it matter, if you read it you're only going to need a visa if you are spending more than 90 days at a time or more than 180 days out of 360 in the EU.

To be fair as petty as the french will become when or if it goes no deal, come 1st of jan we will become third country so it's the same as the rest of the world. However I expect they will make the most of it but its cutting of their nose to spite their face, the money the french economy will lose is enormous, but if it gets spent here that's great
