Hey! Dover is busy!
There were plans to drop a few tonnes of shellfish that can’t now be exported at Westminster. There was overwhelming support amongst the fisherman for Brexit.
They should just ■■■■ it up, they won get over it.

The owner of Lockfyne Langoustines is one of the main protagonists. He was moaning last week about Johnson and Vote Leave had lied to him.

Believing anything DePfeffel says is a trifle unwise, given the chaoes of that chancers personal life quite why anyone alive took anything he said seriously beggars belief.

There is a distinction there: Vote Leave was an objective; Johnson was a commitment.

Johnson was a Commitment?
If he can sing in tune that’s about the only thing he can do then.

Fair play to them I say…as said I passed about 30 all Scottish haulers.
Must be costing them a fair few quid

Ah yes. He was the man on the telly complaining because he sent a part load and some of the other part loads on the lorry hadn’t done their paperwork properly so the whole lot got held up.
Given the claims of £100,000s of value lost you’d have thought they’d not penny pinch over the transport and hire a full load to take their stuff so things like this didn’t happen.
Vote leave didn’t lie and Cameron said 28 times in a televised 50 minute interview on the news in June 2016 that voting to leave the EU meant leaving the single market. Anyone who thought we were going to be trading as we had done as part of the EU even with a trade deal with little to no documentation required was living in a fantasy world. Every nation in the world who has a trade deal with the EU has to do the same paperwork, comply to the same “country of origin” rules. “Country of origin” is a basic tenet of international trade to prevent goods from countries you don’t have trade deals with coming into your nation via the back door as it were.

Ffs… you wanted your country back, close the border to horrible immigrants, and take back control of your bit of the sea. You’ve got it, and now you expect europe to roll over and pretend all is as it was.
You are now a foreign country, without a trade agreement. Get over it…

Are you actually in transport? I’m beginning to think you’re not. Hauliers offer you to either pay for a full lorry load whether you put on one pallet or 26 or offer you groupage which is cheaper but as these people have found out, means more risk of delays due to problems with one or more of the other part loads. No matter what you ship you don’t choose groupage if it’s time sensitive to the point that even delays of a few hours matter. If it’s that critical you pay for the full lorry.
Here they are…

If you’re paying to send a truck to Madrid the cost is spread across 24t or 4t of goods. The ferries, tolls, wages, are the same. There may be 10% or so difference in diesel?
For years they have grouped these loads with little problem. Only one thing has changed.
