Weston Super Saint

I'm astonished you've managed to grasp the principles. Well done you.

Lol. Once again you've not bothered to read what I wrote and have made an assumption and gone with the 'thick as pig shit' standard line. I wrote that some businesses will adapt and overcome, some businesses will fail. I then stated that is the same that has gone on before - i.e some businesses thrive, some businesses fail. It's a cycle that has continued for millennia! From that, you've managed to grasp at some straws and make up some bullshit about me claiming that adding £180 of costs is the same as before. Nice one Walter Mitty, but your attempts at one upmanship are looking increasingly desperate.

What tariffs have been imposed since Jan 1st 2021?

Most businesses will adapt and overcome. Some will fail - that's no different to what has gone before.

I think you've confused tariffs with customs charges. They are not the same thing.

Do you honestly, hand on heart, believe that filling in a form costs in excess of £30 each and every time?

I'm not sure why you're surprised by this. If you buy something from a US, Chinese, Japanese, Brazilian etc etc website you also have to pay customs charges.

I thought that is what we were getting in exchange for unfettered access to our medicine cabinet...

Will Joe be the one that rapes and pillages the NHS or is that not happening any more?

£34.88 per form. That seems like a lot of money for a customs declaration. Any idea how he reached that conclusion - I imagine that once one form has been completed correctly, the rest will be largely 'copy & paste' won't they? I'm assuming he's costed each form to include courier delivery rather than an email?

Not any more - it would appear that Sheaf Saint doesn't agree that his post was misleading

To be fair, your original post wasn't really that clear... You've stated that your wife works in an hospital and is out on the front line which would make her a key worker, however, you didn't orignally state that you are also a key worker, merely that you wouldn't get anything done if your daughter was home. The assumption that I guess most of us made was that your wife is a key worker but that you aren't - until you clarified it later on....

More or less stupid than putting London into tier 2 at the end of November?

What's your best Rolf Harris paining?

To be fair, they should probably be alright as a company. Granted they've lost 446 million customers, but they claim that is only 15% of their business, so should still leave them with 2.9 billion customers (the other 85%). That's a lot of cheese!

Some professor on points West just stated it takes 2-3 weeks for the vaccine (all vaccines) to start to work. Even then you can still be infected, however, your illness will not be as severe if you have any symptoms at all.

Still, at least it's just the fish that is seeing issues, probably not even worth worrying about, especially considering all the lectures we had before Xmas telling us just how small the UK fishing industry is and how little it contributes to our GDP. Seems like every thing else is working well???

Looks like those lorries in London didn't get the memo. Instead of gallivanting round the Capital, they should all be stuck in Dover / Calais.

It's a proud town and rightly so!

Spanish flu it is then (again)!!

Nobody was making unsubstantiated claims when the virus first emerged in China.

Doh. They stated on the news yesterday that Britain currently has 30million doses of vaccine stored in the UK, enough to last until the refurbishment is completed and beyond. I cannot find any verification of this, however.

Oh, I see. So it's only racist to name a virus after the geographic location it came from if it affects people in the UK. That makes way more sense. We should be good to go with the 'Brazilian' and 'South African' viruses then (for now), but the 'English' virus is a definite no-no!

Looks like it's getting worse - so much for the far superior 'buying power' of the EU! https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/factory-renovation-delays-european-unions-pfizer-vaccine-deliveries-by-3-4-weeks-2353200 Not sure it's the best time for a refurbishment but if it makes them more efficient then I guess it needs to be done!

Did the same happen for 'MERS'?
