    One good thing about Covid-19 is that all the morons and millennials have stopped going on about Brexit ..
    The snag is BoJo has probably also taken this welcome (to him) opportunity to stop dealing with Brexit!

      what makes you say that?

      Many reporters/social commentators live abroad some even in France e.g. Alistair Dabbs.
      Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

        Btw. - this German colleague of yours seems to be obsessed with Poland, almost as we are back in 09/1939. Are they planning to come back and finish the job?
        Ooh. Forgot to point out. He's an Ex Pat... Married a German woman.

        Kind of how I got to know him, he was after a Morgan.

          Basically: In Germany, there's a traffic jam on the road into Poland caused by Polish truckers trying to get home.
          Poland has closed it's border and every LDTD that has been outside Poland has to be checked for CoVID before they can cross the border back into Poland.

          So most of the Polish drivers are refusing to Leave Poland in the first place because it can take them days to get home, and their employers don't want to pay for them being sat in traffic jams.
          Most of the drivers are Polish or former Eastern European types because they are cheaper to hire.

          Delivery of goods to and from and through Poland is breaking down. So many companies in Germany are closing production lines.

          I think it's called a FUBAR?

          Some proper lack of joined up thinking going on here. Glad we are surrounded by the sea and have container ports.

          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.
