Samsung

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?

	Take away Northern Ireland and there is no United Kingdom; just Great Britain. 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

Simple. Northern Ireland is not part of Great Britain. But they are part of the UK.

Have you ever read the Wikipedia page on the UK/GB and territories? Clears up a LOT of misunderstandings.

Thanks for the link - to a long page. For once I would have preferred a summary. But hey, it's a rainiy day.

Yes! Somebody after my own heart.

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

	British nationals will be allowed to have a rolling 90 days stay in the Schengen area. British nationals with a Swiss B or C residence permit will be subject to a rolling 180 days access to the Schengen area.

Incorrect, Switzerland is in the Schengen Area, anyone holding a residence permit for Switzerland has no restrictions in the Schengen Area, if the did they could not lice in Switzerland.

	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.

Still doesn't stack up, though.

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.

According to the Swiss Admin site:

Foreign nationals from non-EU/EFTA states – travelling in the Schengen area
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.

If you look up the accounts you will see Gross sales is 70% higher than cost of sales, I was expecting higher.
Amazon has certainly decimated margins

There is no control when travelling between Schengen countries. If you stay more than 90 days you are supposed to register as a resident as you are no longer a tourist.

Both as Schengen is an area & the rules on registration are per country. You must have had a late night last night

Sigh. Again. What was voted for and the shitshow we now have are poles apart.
