European Holidays after Brexit
Have heard that whether you are a Brexiteer or a Remainer, the standard of your accommodation will depend on which way you voted, for this next year.
Re: European Holidays after Brexit
In an almost 4 year period you have posted 24 times, on average therefore it takes you 2 months to come up with such gems as this. Does your brain hurt ?

Re: European Holidays after Brexit
Maybe it is responses like yours that cause me to be reluctant to post on here. Is there really any need to check up on my posts ?

dsr,
" checking up is too strong a word"
I had just been asked "Does your brain hurt?" . I felt that the whole post was totally uncalled for. OK, I don't contribute much but that really should not matter. Just thought that this could be a bit of fun

Re: European Holidays after Brexit
Brexiteers should be banned from travelling abroad and have their passports removed seeing as they hate the outside world so much. You'd think they'd want to spend their money in our economy.

For me getting into the UK and you lot trying to get into the Euro zone the one thing that i will expect is queues and long one's

I love queues. Missed the footy today to queue up and walk around holding out my chip and pin repeatedly whilst being forced to spend money.

Going abroad simply won't be possible after Brexit.

I thought there was stuff out there beyond that.
Sorry for raising the issue if it upsets your equilibrium - maybe I am wrong.

Obviously not, but the Brit tourists spend around 13 billion a year in Spain alone. It won't be easily replaced.Heathclaret wrote: ↑Wed Dec 18, 2019 9:15 amHere we go, the British being the saviour of all. No other nationalities visit Spain then, just the British.

Refusing entry for returning Remainer holiday makers could solve any potential UK overcrowding issues.

Not disputing the amount, but where did you get the figure from?Quickenthetempo wrote: ↑Wed Dec 18, 2019 9:49 amObviously not, but the Brit tourists spend around 13 billion a year in Spain alone. It won't be easily replaced.
With the collapse of Thomas Cook, quite a few hotels facing bankruptcy, the length of time they’d had to wait to be paid by TC was astounding, I have no idea if it is the industry norm.
If the choice is Mablethorpe or Marbella, it won’t be Lincolnshire that attracts the tourists.
Sometimes wonder if Spain would be better off without a certain section of the British tourist market, especially when you see videos posted on the internet of drunken people in the middle of the afternoon being transported back to their hotels on mobility scooters.

Obviously the tourist industry keeps changing, the all inclusive hotels are killing a lot of places but hotel owners used to welcome gangs of lads as they were much freer with their money than families.
Don't worry about the British holiday scene, it's booming. Especially the caravan and camping side.

Re: European Holidays after Brexit
Most of the people who go on holiday abroad will be able to afford a little extra cost, it’ll be the additional time spent in airports that is likely to annoy people the most.

Re: European Holidays after Brexit
Don’t worry about Spain, China, India & the wider Europe are starting to grow & are expected at a steady pace, I live south between Marbella & Gibraltar & the property buyers are Scandinavians, French, Belgium & South American. The UK buyers have been steadily falling to record lows. As for lads holidays try taking you’re shirts of in the streets & unsocial behaviour will get you a large fine & a size 11 boot up the arse in Marbella etc.

When I go abroad I turn into a remainer in so much as I remain in the all inclusive and drink my monies worth of Tropical and industrial grade quality local spirits.
Re: European Holidays after Brexit
Why will there be additional time in airports? The 3-hour check-in for USA is for security reasons, not for EU citizenship reasons.

As my plane lands I always think have some of that CO2 johny foreigner but I am a Brexiteer. When my plane lands back in the UK and I get off looking resplendent in my union jack shorts and Engeeerland t shirt I think how lucky I am to live in this green and pleasant land and not scorched and hot like where I have been, we should charge them for our CO2 we just get wetter they get the sunshine, it's not fair, get that in the Brexit trade talks Johno.

The Spanish could market it as "Brit-Free" Holidays, tourists from all the world would flock there and boost the Spanish economy through the roof.

Re: European Holidays after Brexit
When I travel to places like the US, Canada, Australia, etc I (and everyone else) spend time having my fingerprints taken, answering questions about what I'm doing there, sometimes having to show proof of a return flight, etc. Unsurprisingly, this makes it slower for everyone to get through and the queues build up. (Plus the time spent getting an ESTA/visa in advance.)
On the other hand when I travel to the EU I show them my passport and they wave me through.
Now it may be that we'll agree a deal that maintains something like the latter (although of course we'd be expected to reciprocate and some may not be happy about that loss of control) but no-one knows.
Re: European Holidays after Brexit
But we aren't talking about visiting the USA, Canada or Australia, are we. We're talking about visiting Europe, and European countries don't fingerprint on arrival. Americans don't get their fingerprints taken on arrival in the EU, Schengen area or not; why would we? Obviously if the EU decides to play very silly beggars, and introduce draconian rules that apply only to the UK and not to the rest of the world, then we might suffer; but I don't think that's really likely - do you?aggi wrote: ↑Thu Dec 19, 2019 2:58 pmWhen I travel to places like the US, Canada, Australia, etc I (and everyone else) spend time having my fingerprints taken, answering questions about what I'm doing there, sometimes having to show proof of a return flight, etc. Unsurprisingly, this makes it slower for everyone to get through and the queues build up.
