2 student household. One will have to go back as she is studying a health related subject and goes on hospital placement in Jan. The other is studying an academic subject but has some real life seminars and lives with people he met last year and gets on great with so will probably go back anyway. I...

Update on this one and thank you to everyone interested. My first claim was rejected as the deposit was not technically a deposit so the claim was assessed as "frivilous" meaning arising from a misunderstanding with no hope of success. So I went down the "illegal premium" route....

Except that I know fruit farmers who did it every year and brought in workers from outside the EU...and people did grape picking even before we joined! The sky will not fall down, don't worry

[islandgirl]

Seasonal workers will still come over as they did pre EU and throughout the EU years.(from outside the EU). Remember when students went grape picking in France? Rite of passage!

[islandgirl]

Seasonal workers will still come. I know some soft fruit farmers who recruit from Russia and former soviet states outside the EU for Summer work and have done for many years....

Some of it is to do with Covid though - my court are listing trials to April next year for existing charges (at the earliest)...

In spite of your wonderful offer Artful I am not getting drawn in - been there and done that. You will discover the benefits once we are truly out of the EU and hopefully will remember this thread! Someone else less jaded may take you up on the offer and play along!

Ah yes but countries existed OUTSIDE the EU...I know it is hard to grasp but they did (and they surprisingly still do). And some needed customs forms....

30 years in export sales and marketing...started by filling in customs documents many years ago... it is not a big deal. As for the rest, deja entendu...

Again the prejudice "lies" "false statements made in ignorance" etc - this is why we have had enough....

[islandgirl]

I think we Brexiteers are just fed up of that question Artful - it is everywhere even now. You actually know the answers but just don't agree with them, which is fine. We have been debating it for 4 years...better things to do now. Just hoping Boris stands firm...I love agreeing to disagree - it makes...

[islandgirl]

Anyone got any suggestions as to the best way to do it (legally of course)?...

[islandgirl]

Ha ha ha well that's my amusement for the day...."I should have voted for Corbyn".....

[islandgirl]

I think that is the key. When they don't respect my property I am grateful that their post seredipitiously falls open. Strangely enough this never seems to happen with decent tenants whose post is returned to sender or re-posted to their new address with a cheery smile....

[islandgirl]

The cheque could not be presented unless the payee is changed I imagine - then presumably that would be fraud in which the Police may well be interested. The sender of said cheque can avoid the chance of duplication by cancelling the original and producing another. The man or woman on the Clapham Omnibus...
