No more paying ridiculous ‘Membership fees’ of which we’re only given back a percentage and are then told how to spend it.

Parcel deliveries to the EU
If you send or receive parcels from friends or family living in an EU country, such as France, Spain, Germany or Italy, there are some changes you need to be aware of.
The biggest changes are around customs documents and fees. Currently, you don’t have to supply a customs declaration or pay customs fees when you send a parcel from the UK to the EU, however, from January 1st 2021 this is likely to change.
On arrival to its destination, your parcel will be cleared through customs which means you will need to provide a customs declaration form that clearly states the contents and value, along with an 8 digit HS Code (also known as a commodity code or tariff code).
Although VAT will no longer be charged on goods exported to the EU, your parcel will incur customs fees which the recipient will need to pay before it can be released. The cost of these fees will vary depending on the country you’re sending to and the value of your item.

Well it's not quite like that I am afraid Oldgas To wit commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cbp-8039/Precis There is no definitive cost to the settlement. The final cost to the UK will depend on future events such as future exchange rates and EU budgets. The Office for Budget Responsibility estimate that the net cost to the UK may be £33 billion |

When travelling abroad to EU countries I no longer have to manage the anxiety associated with putting my passport in the scanner correctly as not to hold up the queue behind me. Instead, I get to be correctly scrutinised by burly customs and immigration officers.
I see this as an absolute win.

Genuine win .
Our NHS this week received a cheque for £350,000,000 .
There will be one coming next week and the week after and for evermore.
What does surprise me though is Boris & co didn’t make a big song and dance about this . You know .... get the press & cameras 🎥 in as he’s signs that first (of many) historic cheques.

Taken from Twitter .....
We normally by chili seeds 🇬🇧➡️🇫🇷, small packets ~£1.50 each, 5 or 6 of them go in an envelope, £3 postage. They've stopped supplying EU as each packet of seeds requires a phytosecurity certificate at ~£100 a pop. So, from a tenner to 600 quid!
Definitely a win for global Britain 🇬🇧

Correct. The entire UK seed industry can no longer ship to any EU country or NI. Importing red tape is riculous. The are NO UK seed brands that are majority seed producers and all your food has come from seed. We've now zero food security.

Not sure what is right or wrong here as UK and Spanish authorities say either paperwork is okay, but dies highlight how easy we had it before

UK architects do not now have an automatic recognition of their qualifications in EU member states following the country’s exit from the union
As a result of Brexit, architects from the UK will have to demonstrate compliance on a state-by-state basis before calling themselves and operating as architects. The only exception is in the Republic of Ireland, where a mutual recognition agreement has already been reached.
Another win ! 🇬🇧

Now we're out and not in the transition period, I don't need to worry whether I should join the EU passport queue or non-EU passport queue.
That was just confusing.

The cost of these fees will vary depending on the country you’re sending to and the value of your item. 🇬🇧 I should imagine this irritating by product of Brexit will affect, at a rough guess, at least 2/3 of the combined EU and UK populations. I don’t know about anyone else, but I am receiving parcels from friends on the continent on an almost daily basis. |

Some claim that being out of the EU made no difference to our licensing and using anti-Covid vaccines. I think we all know the real story though, don’t we?
As a result, France hasn’t even managed to vaccinate 500 people as of this morning, whereas we (GB) have managed into the 100,000’s. There’s also reports that the EUhas vastly under-ordered vaccine, and has followed extremely hampering rules whereby they have to reserve a proportion of their ordering for a vaccine which is still several months away from being ready.
Oh, how I wish we were still in the EU. I would also have loved our country to be on the hook for several billion quid towards the EU Covid recovery fund. Just imagine, we might even have got about 10% of that given back to us.
Bargain!

Don't buy them, just get them out of your fruit and veg, dry em, and plant them.... You can grow jalepenos from seeds recovered from jarred chillies.... |

Don't know about jarred chili's, but your point us spot-on Greg's. However if you want to try new varieties I highly recommend this provider. www.realseeds.co.uk/No hybrids here and they send you the seeds they have grown or from known and very specific growers in the UK. |
