I suppose the wealthy communicate with governments directly and wield the threat of pulling their companies out of the UK (since they're not paying tax themselves), but the vulnerable only have something to scare the politicians with every election day. It's very one sided and unjust.

Well, exactly! Personally, I now take an empty bottle through security and fill it airside.

When BA first came up with this bright idea, the advice was to ask for ordinary tap water which i did. I think the passenger has the right to free water. Is that correct do you know?

That is a very good point! Will travellers from Gibraltar be treated in the same way as those coming from the Channel Islands or from Spain? Also, are UK citizens going to be subject to the Schengen 90/180 day rule?

So, Gibraltar will be in the Schengen zone with the UK border at the airport. That makes sense...

It's strange how Brexit betrayals involve making common sense agreements that involve the UK following EU rules, put in place for perfectly sound reasons.

7. How would you rate our delivery service?

I rowed with my wife once at Peterborough in a mixed 4-.

It was really hard work, but not because of the girls - my male counterpart was seriously unfit.

We won a round at least, keeping up the TRC tradition at the time. 🀣

You'll have Tiger mosquitoes next. We have plenty of both here in southern France unfortunately

My wife loves rowing with me and it's not a pretty sight.

You do mean arguing don't you? πŸ˜‚

I would say the latter, as it's one day belonging to many fathers.

I can only think that the PM has been told off a public order risk that needs to be calmed down. Not sure he's being successful at achieving that goal....

Bris emigrating to live in Europe are called ex-pats. Immigrants to the UK are immigrants. As a British immigrant in France, I can't see the difference...

You should rename it "Undisclosed Secrets". It sounds more spicy πŸ”₯

Maybe it's time to point out to the Brexitears that if they did it for the UK, they'd have to do the same for Turkey...

What has happened to the Labour government, they've changed so much once in power? I despair.

There's always Boxty ( which I discovered for the first time in Sligo a fortnight ago)!

Thank you, it sounds delicious. There should be some around us as we're close to the Pyrenees...

What kind of cheese is it? Soft, hard, goats, sheep or cows milk? I'll have to look for it locally here in southern France
