      Customs brokers. I also predict that Greggs will open a branch in Calais.

          Until the UK and the EU sort things out its very difficult to say, it will all hinge on what kind of deal, if any, get struck between the two.

          But it will at least allow the UK to get more involved with the rest of the world regarding trade.

            That's the thing, we don't know what's coming. Regarding trade agreements, we could become Norway or China, I'd much prefer Norway where movement of goods is virtually non-checked as both the EU and the Norwegians adhere to the same standards.

            This is so mind boggling, at work I have to sort out moving things around Europe from a situation where the major vendors are in the UK to a new world where the majority of moving things happens in the continent and I can't keep my UK based set up.

            On a positive note, I bring in cakes on every Brexit deadline. Coffee and walnut cake on the 31st methinks :biggrin:

              Well if we become like Norway won't we still be in the EU?

              Just not involved as such, but bound by all their regulations regarding who we can sell to or buy from?
              I dont know what kind of deal Norway has with the EU.:smile:
