Wanderlust Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 All those rights and privileges I've lost still irk me, especially the right to free movement around Europe without all the hassle, visas and time restraints I now face. After 50 years of paying into our tax system, me and the missus were so looking forward to spending a good chunk of our retirement poodling around the continent in our old camper van whilst we still can.

I know, filling in a visa online is horrendous. I’ll pray for you later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup. 27 of them for the round Europe summer holiday and it gets worse...I have to put a GB sticker on the camper so I can be identified as the village idiot and pelted with cabbages.

We can change the placement of road warning signs in the Dartford Tunnel from metres to yards, change the limit of vacuum cleaner electrical consumption and pay extortionate telephone roaming charges in Europe. OK they aren't benefits "as such" - but we at least we now have the option to f*** ourselves over, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was going to St Petersburg Loved it and planned to go again but COVID hit Then they invaded Ukraine so another visit is out It asks questions like 'have you been a member of a terrorist organisation', where you've worked for the last ten years, who you're parents are, what social media you use etc And it reads in very broken English Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it wasn’t necessary until recently. Things were supposed to improve. Anyway, I see we’re down to bailing out British Steel. What with exports being so healthy.
