So it’s ok in a city but my village has no facilities what do we do ?

You start canvassing with your neighbours to your local MP (Milliband isn't it) and for him to make representations to the government to get some money for bus services. Don't leave it to someone else.
Tried that when we lost our Hourly bus service, we will have to wait for the next Government.

That's what happens when we have a Govt that cut Council funding by 40% unfortunately.

In our case no, it was a case of Great houghton lobbying for a better service and to save 3 minutes in order to modify the route it meant we lost our bus service as it was re routed.

  Page two near the bottom, is it a sign Kato and BST are on holiday at Syds, or just good news?
  Well good news actually, all the talk of bankers off to Frankfurt and Paris has come to naught, and even better the London bankers are closing in fast O New York no less to become the top banking centre probably as soon as the next quarter ( a nice Christmas present and publicity leading up to the next6 election don't you think).
  The sad news is that Paris and Frankfurt have been left wallowing in 14th and 15th yes I will repeat that shocking news 14th and 15th in the world list of bourses.
  The only conclusion I can come to is I BLAME BREXIT.

Surprised those complaining didn't add vat on private education to their list (not allowed in EU law).

I don't know if this has been mentioned and I can't be arsed to read all seven pages so apologies if it's been covered but the Windsor Framework for good "exported" to Northern Ireland is at best complex and very costly and at worst completely bloody unworkable.

Working in grocery supply, any goods delivered either directly to our customers' Northern Ireland RDCs or into their GB RDCs for onward carriage to NI have to be labelled "Not for EU."

On the face of it that sounds quite simple. Just print that onto the packagain or stick a label on and job's a good 'un.

But we sell the same products across numerous channels including export so we can't print "not for EU" on the packaging. We could ask  our customers to inform us when orders they're placing for delivery to one of their GB hubs are destined for Northern Ireland and sticker up that stock. Of course we would need to find space on site or pay carriage to a co-packer to then strip down the pallets, label the requisite number of packs, re-stack and ship back out. The cost of which on products typically retailing at between 50p & £5 would need to be passed on to the retailers. They wouldn't accept this as they'd have to significantly increase retail pricing.

I could go into a lot more boring detail but you get the idea. It's a complete shambles. But blue passports. Yay.

Do you send goods to none EU countries, if so is this any different to that process?

Just wondered if this is purely an EU or global thing

Yes, we sell the same products in the UK as the EU. That's fine as shipping/tariffs etc. are included in the prices when supplying directly to the EU and other countries. The only issue we have is when we supply goods for sale in Northern Ireland and would effectively need to set up new SKU codes, manage a separate forecast and supply chain, hold stock of two different sets of packaging and lose efficiency as we change over for small runs etc. etc. etc...

It just doesn't work.

Ok, so is this now making your transactions with NI not cost effective, enough to consider if it makes any sense to continue to supply the NI market. Or is there still enough of a profit to be made there to persist with it.

I would imagine quite a few traders are going through the same thought process.

I’ll give the same answer I have on numerous occasions (which I am sure you have read because you wouldn’t want to look a prick in front of the board) that a tangible benefit to me is that we are no longer part of the drive to be a federal Europe.

Exactly that. We're doing an exercise to say "how much would it cost us to just say we'll pull out of NI and save the hassle?"

Quite amazing that the usual suspects are screaming about the country descending in to fascism but can't see the danger of thousands of flag waving extremists trying to overturn a democratic vote marching through the streets of London .

We pretty much should do that as a country but that’s not realistic
