Brexit

Looks like we are heading towards a no-deal Brexit and no doubt there are strong views either way on here.

However I'm interested to learn how bookings in Ibiza from the UK are going, in other words are tourists hanging back because they don't know the costs yet (eg the £'s slumped again today) or whether flights will be cancelled, altered etc in the weeks after we leave?

Thinking it's a very good Easter - late April followed by a bank holiday in England therefore I assume many would take a good few days off to make the most of the spring sun in Ibiza?

What's the word on the ground, or is it way too early to judge?

Note - it's about now I book my spring Ibiza break, I try to avoid Easter so next year I would be thinking early/mid April for a few days. However I am not booking due to the uncertainty, I am deffo in the "wait and see" camp.
 
How would the situation with Britons in Ibiza be different that the one that existed in the 80s and 90s? I would guess that you actually had more UK tourists pro-rata than you do today.

I am a bit ignorant on this, as I am from the US. From what I understand there was limited integration in 1993 and full (non UK) integration in 1999.
 
Don't apologise for being ignorant @CasaNegron
We certainly don't have politicians who are handling the divorce apologising for being so...
In fact, "ignorance" pretty much surmises the whole sordid ordeal.
 
A no deal would be great - only took her two years to stand up to them.

Lets put in British passport holder lines at the airports would solve the problems of mega ques all day long. Anyone with a British passport feel free to use.

EU line. Non EU line. British line. Job done . .


Its not because of Brexit that the island of Ibiza is quieter its because people are fed up of being ripped off

The £ slump hasn't stopped people going to the canarys, mainland europe has it?

I still think there will be a last-minute deal - it's in everyone's interests.

if not, enjoy those food shortages & holiday weekends in Rhyl...

if you voted out and now get shafted because your job moved to Dusseldorf, then don't come on here crying

Theres food shortages, austerity etc now and we are in the EU? I know quiet a few people that have been to Wales on holiday this year aswell.

can't say i really know whats going on. but anyone saying they do is lying.

i do feel angry about it though. a bunch of posh blokes thought europe would fall in line because 'we won the war and invented stuff'. they spun the oldies a line about £350m a day going to the nhs (find a pensioner not in favour of that).

they won the vote, but turns out none of them actually have any conviction, bottle, or ideas, so they've either stopped trying to contribute positively or disappeared entirely

i'm not a fan of theresa may, and i would never ever vote tory, but she has the hardest job of any PM since WW2, so deserves respect for putting her hand up. plus she likes a dance.

this summer the weather has been ace, the world cup was boss too.

next summer the economy could be in freefall, and it'll probably piss down

That is called good business. Where does it say that we don't want to do business with Europe anymore?

You can't win. Make passports in UK which costs to much = idiots. Make it abroad where its cheaper = idiots

As for the Irish border. Ireland doesn't want a hard border, nor does the UK. So wheres the problem? Oh yeah, the EU.

The same EU that have offered nothing in return on a deal, and throw the latest watered down attempt in the bin.

Yeah good ones. . .

Might be worth buying your euros for next year this year!

Also I don't get the, "We shouldn't have another vote, cause not democratic". I mean why do we have local and general elections every-so-often? I mean we voted once, job done ;).

Personally I say out and that's it even though voted remain. At least that way the leavers can't complain (although sure will blame titsup on EU somehow). Ex-pats are typically in the main demographic who voted out are gonna be potentially most effected.

I also read somewhere (can't remember where though) that ress-morgan and that lot are on the sly investing in office buildings in Europe etc.

Anyhow, best go and stock up on spam!

Edit: also on the border, if you have diff rules, regs, taxes etc, you have to know what's crossing it to apply them. That's the problem really. Like travelling outside EU, need green card etc before hand but still are checked at destination airport to make sure all correct. They don't even know how many border agency staff they currently employ, never mind some fancy tech solution that don't exist lol

You'd have to stock up on spam and holiday to Rhyl if Labour got into power anyways so that should of been sorted before the last general election for most of the forum :D

I have read that the complete preperations by H.M. Government for a no-deal senario is (a) thousands of traffic cones to turn the M20 into a lorry-park and (b) dozens of portaloos to service said drivers.
If there's anything else I'd be glad to know!
meanwhile, something else I have read is that we leave at a certain time, yet planes will take off just before that time, and be expecting to land in the EU (and vice versa) but without a deal in place they may not have that permission to land by the time they arrive!
I suppose one day all this will make a darned good book, film or series which we can read on the beaches of Ibiza and Formentera.


If we're allowed to land, nats.

My cricket club (Lancashire) are just about to be relegated, meaning we could have a fixture at Colwyn Bay next summer in the second division, not far from Rhyl. So for once I could actually CHOOSE to go to North Wales!

Could we also include snickers bars? (Plus can we get them renamed back after brexit?:spank:)

Btw our trade deals with all other countries are for been part of EU. So when leave, fall back to wto rules, which would make us the only developed country doing so with their main trading partners. Takes ~2years to negotiate new ones. Or of course could copy+paste current EU ones (if other countries game for that), but this is in part chequers deal which no one wants (cause we still be bound to EU rules which brexit peeps don't want)

Actually changed my mind, can we have bounty bars instead of snickers, fancy a bit of paradise :oops:
