Happened neither in your post nor in this one here.
You're sure it's an EF thing? Or some browser or other stuff people have on their computer.
Or was I the only one not to see it, maybe due to one of my blockers?

They'll have to redesign the British passport yet again. | | | | | So this is the passport a Scot has?
Why is Northern Ireland mentioned separately - a bit like a step-kid, eih?
Either they ARE part of GB or they're not?
Maybe there should be a Swiss passport, saying Switzerland and Thurgau |

Thank you.
Don't get me wrong, I'm usually into details but GB has become a subject where what's true today is not tomorrow, so I keep efforts to the minimum |

| | Re: The Brexit referendum thread: potential consequences for GB, EU and the Brits in | Quote: |  | | | Your link only goes to the general store site. Where are you getting the 133% typical mark up figure from?  | | | | | I did not give a link, the info is from a buyer who was a Partner in the business. Unless you are selling quick moving goods you need a fat margin to stay in business as overheads are high.

Obvs if it's a vague anecdote, it can say whatever you want it to say. Doesn't mean it makes a dent in the argument in favour of Brexit, though.

Foreign nationals from non-EU/EFTA states in possession of a valid Swiss foreign national permit B, C, L or Ci do not require a visa to visit a country in the Schengen area (up to 90 days within a 180-day period). However, you must carry a valid Swiss residence permit and valid travel documents (your passport or a Swiss travel document for foreign nationals).
This does not apply to Great Britain, Ireland, Cyprus, Bulgaria, Romania and Croatia, which are not in the Schengen area. You may require a visa to travel to these countries.
