    Brooks England stops sales of ‘Made in Britain’ saddles to UK shoppers.

    Brooks England stops sales of ‘Made in Britain’ saddles to UK shoppers – because of Brexit | road.cc

    In a shipping notice on its website(link is external), shared on Twitter yesterday by user @MCRCycleSam,(link is external) the company, which dates back to 1866, said: “At Brooks England, we continue to produce each leather saddle in our West Midlands factory in more or less the same manner as we have for over 150 years.

    “However, upon their completion, since some time these saddles are shipped first to our logistics centre in Italy and from there to Cyclists around the world.
    “Due to this, the ongoing changes in the Brexit situation have made it necessary to temporarily suspend all new orders to the UK at this time.”

      Might not be of interest for many of you but already a couple of EU bicycle manufacturers (Rose and Canyon) that sell directly to end customers have stopped selling bikes to the UK. Canyon said it's going to be temporary until 11 January, Rose didn't give any indication on if and when they'd sell to UK again.

      Obviously I wanted to get me a new Canyon this year

              First sell the red tape.

              Then sell scissors.

              Finally sell even more red tape!!!

              This is money hand over fist - that's what allegedly Churchy said to BR14.

                Not quite: Brooks England distributor reacts to stories claiming saddle sales to the UK have stopped due to Brexit - Cycling WeeklySent from my 5g carrier pigeon
                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.
