Boris could not organise one in a Brewery , and now his right hand adviser has done a runner again , anything can happen.

[emmie]

so says the expert.

[Old_Geezer]

The whole point of a trial is to see where things need tightening up. I expect part of the problem will be drivers not yet ready to show the necessary proofs and documentation. When they are that part'll be a lot swifter.

[jourdain2]

It seems that it was the French trials which didn't work in this case.

[douglas9401]

It would be so much simpler if all adjacent countries were to have a customs-free agreement for the movement of goods and services, a common market if you will.

I'm surprised nobody has thought of it, seems so obvious and useful.

[agchristie]

Gud idea Doug,shall we have a vote on that? ;-)

[drmorgans]

Why oh, why oh, why did we vote for Boris and his bunch of incompetents, it would be much better if Jeremy Corbyn was running things.

[emmie]

drm, hope that was a jest.

[jourdain2]

Douglas - a Common market seems to be a really good idea, I'd go along with it ----- except that the last time we tried it it sort of morphed into a dictatorial superstate. Very sad actually. It could all have worked so well and to everyone's advantage.

[emmie]

exactly ^^

[youngmafbog]

Good the French are trialling their system, hope we do the same as that should help iron out some of the bugs in the design.


Of course if we were all masterbrains like Canary and Gulliver it would be 100% right first time. However for the rest of us mere mortals testing prior to implementation is a good idea!

[emmie]

yes it is.

[bobbinwales]

I wonder canary wheather you got as far as
"One source said the dry run caused delays because the French had not deployed enough staff needed for a live operation and once properly resourced more lanes would be open to help ease the congestion."

[emmie]

i think there are those who want Project Fear to come to fruition if only to say I Told you so.

[dannyk13]

Bob, Canary only reads what he wants to read i.e the bits that suit his agenda of Tory bashing.

[douglas9401]

Oh dear.

[gulliver1]

Get it right first time , that's why they are paid thousands of £s of tax payers money, unless of course Boris gives the job to one of his Cronies who has no experience whatsoever .

[emmie]

they are paid x to run the country, they can't be experts in everything, this is a whole new ball game. Let us wait and see

[dannyk13]

Gulliver//that's why they are paid thousands of £s /
The French are paid in Euros, not £'s.

[douglas9401]

Absolutely crucial point there Danny, good to have you on board.
