    "Thousands of British citizens fear their votes in the EU referendum could have got lost in the post after Germany’s postal service said its workers were confused by the format of pre-paid envelopes sent out to Britons living abroad."

    Ze envelopes were not in standard EU format

      There isn't an agreed EU format.

      Though anything to do with UK government is always wrong.

        Maybe not an EU format but the Germans have a format which is different to the British which can cause some problems for British people here who don't take the time to check up on it, particularly with Christmas and Birthday cards. Square ones or any other shape apart from the standard 90*140 mm will cost more....
        Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

          I would imagine the majority of these lost postal votes are BREMAIN votes [emoji22]

            if the turn out is under 50% either side will do something dodgy. I was looking at statistics on other EU referendums and governments simply cannot be trusted.

              I agree - there could be a right stitch up. But every vote of the people puts another crack in the EU dam...

                    Not true. I've just sent a e-mail to my ERO (Electoral Role Officer) asking they inform me in a week or so if in receipt.
