Yer man drove away and washed his digger down and removed what he thought was all of the mud. The BC bloke looked the digger over and found a tiny patch of mud under the cab and still refused entry. This is getting beyond ridiculous.

You couldn't make that up, could you, Percy, and yet someone obviously has.

Yeah i know Percy. A load of stuff for NI supermarkets was sent back because it was on the wrong EU pallets.

The NI UK border should be no different to that of stockton and Darlington. What a farce

Have I missed a few weeks and it's April 1st today? Personally, I don't believe this article is made up. It is just the sort of thing some trumped up little pipsqueak of a jerk in a uniform would do because he has such low self-esteem.

Re: Bollocks to Brexit

Remember all the hoo-hah about port traffic slowing, lorry parks and delays?


"A month on since the end of the Brexit transition period, the Port of Dover is pleased to already be welcoming over 90% of the freight traffic volumes typical of this time of year following the significant stockpiling experienced before Christmas."


90% of normal given the pandemic is pretty good IMHO.
