Disruption at the ports?.. Supply problems?.. Price increases? etc.. your comments?

[Theland]

Mountains of paperwork

[dannyk13]

Teething problems.

Empty supermarket shelves , higher Prices , no freedom of travel, getting more like USSR eery day .
And thats just for strarters.

Rubbish!! haven't you heard, there's a world wide pandemic?

[Bobbisox1]

The big boys tried to flex their puny muscles on the UK...and failed miserably :0)

[rockyracoon]

I personally haven’t noticed any disruption. Tesco has fully stocked and I can’t say that I’ve noticed the eye watering price increases that were predicted. Maybe too early to tell yet

[Jackdaw33]

It is clear that the overriding aim of the EU at the moment is to punish the UK as much as possible for having the temerity to leave their precious club. They are terrified that we might make a success of it and that other members of their club might get similar ideas.

I don't think senior figures in the EU realise they are a major part of the EU's problems. Greece and Italy have been badly served with lack of support on refugees. This latest attempt to blame Astra-Zeneca (because it's a UK firm?) backfired quickly and spectacularly.

[ichkeria]

A pedant might comment that AstroZeneca, although headquartered in the UK, is joint Swedish (EU) British

[ichkeria]

They might also point out that it’s “AstraZeneca” :-) but still ...

It’s too early to tell, the main issue so far is around freight and this will take a while to play out as many companies stocked up while they could and there are various ‘grace periods’ that begin to run expire mid Feb - April. Hoping that by then the ‘teething problems’ will be sorted but there will certainly be price rises due to additional effort required to ship things, just depends how much the rises will be.

Not noticed any difference at all in supermarkets, early days but looking hopeful. The EU are complete bullies and they have shown themselves up lately, better off without them.

[Arrods]

Some kitchen doors took 10 weeks to arrive from Germany (pre-Brexit). Some additional ones 2 weeks to arrive (post-Brexit).

[Zacs-Master]

I think if you have to ask, there ain't been much. There would have been threads on here the moment any major negatives had been announced.

More than there should have been. Boo Boris!

[ummmm]

It's only 1st Feb. We have to give it longer before we can judge.

I think it'll be OK, Covid has made things much harder though.

[Apc2604]

What empty shelves and where? You are so right Riptide. I am so glad we are contacting of the EU. They have now shown their true colours and I'm pleased.

Aldi's middle aisle is suffering. Our local Aldi has offered up apologies and the aisle is shrinking!!

[Apc2604]

There were obviously always going to be teething problems.
