Ah just one more groan from FMF - that will truly make a difference to the outcome. How infantile and nonsensical.

BBC reporting today that consumers in NI are having difficulties ordering on-line from the UK because of the customs formalities.
The 55.8% of NI voters, who voted remain, are likely not very happy!

| | Re: The Brexit referendum thread: potential consequences for GB, EU and the Brits in | Quote: | |  | | | Of course I'm not, how did you extrapolate that? What it does do, as your extensive university of life training should tell you, is make it clear to the relevant parties how much (measurable) dissatisfaction there is. | | | | | How exactly?
And what use is in that differentiation in the first place, how would you put such knowledge to good use?
You can't differentiate those who yielded to state power and sent theirs in due to the fine only from those who would have sent in (or dropped, whatevers) an empty ballot paper either way. Both say " ... ", you'll never know their specific reason. Some don't care, others trust in the wisdom of their peers, others are fine either way because it has always worked out well so far, while some think the ruling class will always do what they want.
Besides, your snobbiness is showing. Better hide it.

UK visitors to the EU are only allowed limited stays now right? How is that monitored?
How should things work now for UK folk resident in Switzerland when it comes to limited stays within the EU? Do you need to get your passport stamped every time you go and come back from shopping in France?

Switzerland, unlike many other countries, does not have work permits - it has resident permits that allow people to work.

The bigger the wedge between NI and the UK main land, the happier the 50% or so, Republicans will be. It moves the justification for a border poll forward.

But of course that's entirely different, after all you're a woman and everybody "knows" that they're always the victim.

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).
Of course, Corona rules about the entry of people from Switzerland do apply.

A real shame as it is one of the many things we always bring two coolers with us when we drive to uk, as well as Melton Mowbray pork pies, no longer allowed either, Stilton and Red Leicester, etc.
