I'm sorry, you've list me there. Are you saying that all the documentation was in place, but the employees just didn't use it correctly?

Companies did not make the errors, employees did.

It's pretty clear where the errors were made:

 

Downing Street has said Boris Johnson maintains confidence in the fisheries minister after she admitted not reading the post-Brexit trade deal with Brussels when it was agreed because she was busy organising a nativity trail.

Victoria Prentis faced calls for her to quit after the comments, but the prime minister is standing by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) minister.

In the real Wold Ms Prentis would have been “invited” to resign or be...... it’s appalling

So in summary your contention is that it was all extremely easy and could be achieved in the one week before the change.  

 

and at Christmas and in the middle of a global pandemic!

Intervening just a little - and trying to keep my resolution to avoid politics on the forum

 

Positive thought for today

 

It’s 4.30 and I haven’t yet put the lights on! Yay!

(sorry for people with bad weather)

Had they been fully prepared for a no deal and the documentation that would require, which should have been known, I feel sure that the resultant paperwork requirements would have been fully covered.  Or am I missing something?

I think you are missing the sheer scale of the paperwork that's required.

 

A lot of continental hauliers simply aren't bothering to come to the UK anymore.  

[Eddie99]

And a silly joke

I've had the lights on since 3.30pm!

We’ve had a really nice afternoon with lots of sun.  Doesn’t half give you a lift

Sorry - I know the country has very stark contrasts today

I know just read about it before you posted here 

 

My happy thought is all our gardens look lovely /samey due to the snow

Not a lot of daylight for you this time of the year, is there.  You must be really looking forward to Spring!

 

Didn't happen to see that Rick Stein programme about Cornish Gouda did you?  Not normally a great Gouda fan (too bland) but some of the vintage stuff looked well worth a punt.  He's sold out for now though of the more interesting ones.

No I didn’t see that unfortunately.

 

I did however get an interesting, new to me cheese recently. Tunworth, it’s a smelly soft cheese a bit like a Camembert in taste but from Hampshire. I will be buying it again, really nice English cheese.

Of course he is. It just seems to me that if things were as easy as he makes it out, why have so many major companies both in the UK and EU experienced such severe problems? 

We dont really know how universal it is though wowzz  as I said earlier the media love to make .mountains out of mole hills. But I am not saying there is no problem, just that we need to know the true facts before we get our knickers totally twisted.

Do we know how much a lot really is though? And just how many possible exports are being lost due to lack of transport and/or lack of correct documentation.

How topical, fish pie is on the menu for tonight🤤

[Dermotsgirl]

Local reports say that Dover is still very quiet, with only 40% of normal traffic.

Tesco's Finest, home delivery until I have had both jabs. More convenient if you live on your own
