But you must throw the charger away, under EU rules, then buy an adapter from Amazon so you can still use the phone.

Eh, no.
 
John Major is roughly on the same page as me. He still cares about our relationship with the EU. But the whole speech is worth reading.

I skimmed a bit of it. He seems to moaning about the state of the world and then saying we should be positive. Complaining that people think democracy is inefficient and then going on about Brexit and how the EU is more efficient. Complaining tax is too high (particularly on entrepreneurs), but also that borrowing is too high.

It's easy to see doom and gloom the world over - interesting would be to find solutions.

Also, the US has looked pretty wobbly since Bush.

That's the quagmire of not fully leaving the EU

Want to cycle the Alps? A few blokes in a couple of cars, bikes in a van? Don't forget your carnet post Brexit. Relatively easy - we're the resourceful, educated middle classes after all.
Want to cycle to Istanbul and back to celebrate retirement? It's getting a bit more complicated. 90 days out of 180 in Schengen, on a rolling basis.
Just another day for the resident troll, apparently. Obviously he didn't buy a holiday property in Europe ((too many foreigners) with his vast wealth.
In reality I doubt he's been anywhere more exotic than Eastbourne.

No I didn't buy a place in Europe. I know a few friends who did, enjoyed my time visiting. I also saw the hassle factor maintaining a property in another country.

I've cycled the Alps, Ventoux, Alpe d Huez, cycled to Paris etc. I've done multi week motorcycle and car trips all around Europe, had to stop at Swizz borders many times. No big deal. Its nice to enjoy trips with a few quid in your pocket :okay:

And how effective has that been?

Nice attempt at deflection.

To answer (as I’ve already crossed ATFQ on my Stevo bingo card). Less effective than when we were in the EU and we had stronger agreements in place which was my original point when you thought I wouldn’t find evidence of your complaints about the French police.

My word, you have done a lot of European Travel since Brexit.
