mojomonkey Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Who are the agreements going to be with? I hope that some sort of agreement is reached with the EU, its a right pain doing the customs paperwork for exporting to non-EU and other countries without agreements.

It's called efficiency and high level productivity, PK. I seldom post on here when I'm not also working. I don't waste my spare time on it. I'm a bit like Richard in that respect, although I'm working for myself, of course. Being able to multi-task says something about you.... It's only an emotive subject to those who get emotional about it but I must admit I've not seen the UK as polarised as this since the demise of Thatcher! Which then gets reflected on here as it did then. But that was different in that it seemed that those who lived through the Thatcher years thought she was an absolutely foul creature and those who didn't kept banging on and on about how wonderful she was because something needed to be done and she did it. However everyone knew something had to be done but the issue was the WAY she did it. Lots of folks just couldn't get that.... We're all in wait and see mode but seeing the word "smug" bandied about a lot I find really strange. I for one am outlooking a drop in my standard of living and there's nothing remotely smug about that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you can do an export to a country with no trade agreement as quick as one with, what total nonsense or do you have a magic watch and stop time? Even you would have to accept that more paperwork has to take more time (printing, calculating, signing, communicating with customs departments). Anyway, I never mentioned staying in the EU, we're leaving, let's get on with it. I do believe some form of agreement is beneficial though.

Are you purposely missing the point? I didn't say it was rocket science but it is simple logic that exports to countries without agreements is more time consuming. When you do a lot of exports a day all that extra time adds up, not sure how you can't see that. I know you don't like the EU but that doesn't alter the fact that exports between EU countries are easy, there is effectively no large paper trail and forms to complete.
