[QUOTE="Ashtree, post: 7386659, member: 3254"] Exactly. The mature thing for Brexiters and non Brexiters alike, is to challenge very, very forcefully, the government on the effects of the deal. I can give two very specific instances of two British companies I deal with on a weekly basis, where they are both “aghast” at what is currently happening. That’s quoting the sales manager of one, when I spoke to him last Friday. One is a customer of ours, where we have two pallets of valves shipped to them two weeks ago tomorrow. The still haven’t got the delivered. Tied up in British customs. Not French bring arsey here ..., it’s British customs. Another pallet shipped Tuesday last week with the exact same paperwork, was delivered last Friday. How so????? The other case, is a supplier of ours, who deliver a large artic of non ferrous metal to ROI weekly. That truck has done its weekly delivery every Wednesday for longer than I can remember. Great company and great service. Sales manager calls me on Friday to apologise about the drop in service levels in January. Furthermore he tells me, UK customs told them last week they have to pay 5.5% tariff on entry to UK from the EU, which of course he now has to pass on to his customers. Further to that, their general cost of operations due to paperwork and other inefficiencies is gone up by several percent. These are just two great British companies, I have in my work been trading with for more than twenty years. Both quite frankly are being fudged over by Brexit and the great deal. Neither, I can absolutely assure you are happy. Some aspirational deal with countries in SE Asia, is about as useful to these guys, as a toothpick for cutting concrete. [/QUOTE]
