Yet you feel your opinion, under an alias in a motorcycle forum should be valued? Irony much?
Dismissing the views of others in such fashion just makes you sound blinkered. Well, more blinkered.

It does seem that as a result of Covid perhaps 10 years of change has been compressed into 2 years. With the Covid induced rapid acceleration of online business it's laid to rest many "zombie" business.wheelnut wrote: ↑Sat Sep 11, 2021 8:27 amIt does seem to have worked that way. Anecdotal, but a small snapshot of the SMEs that are my customers show that some are really making hay while some are dead on their feet. The stability across the various sectors seems to have gone/been readjusted.MrLongbeard wrote: ↑Sat Sep 11, 2021 12:12 am
Not enough hours in the day for me, it's made us as busy as busy things, we're naming our own prices and still having to turn down work, I am looking forward to pay review and bonus time next year.
The pandemic along with pent up demand has turned everything on its head as well so as yet it’s difficult to isolate brexit effects from pandemic effects.
Get a grip lad, you posted a fake FB story to moan about Brexit, it might fly on your FB page if your friends are all Brexit moaners but you should have known you'd get it thrown back at you on here.
Thanks. I assumed it was Brexitosis - on being presented with a number, the irresistable urge to quote an entirely different/irrelevant one.
Same, daughter went and interviewed for 2 jobs a month or so back and got offered both within a couple of days, nice to have the choice on where she picked and fit it in around her uni studies.
To some extent, but it’s more than that. The retail and hospitality sector are certainly having a post-pandemic bounce which will tail back to normal levels in the coming months, but there’s lots of other, primarily viable B2B businesses which are still trying to navigate their way through brexit and the pandemic. As an example, we look after a company that provides banners and signage for major events; marathons, that type of thing. They supplied several European cities with stuff which was the core of their business. The euro customers are now sourcing the stuff from mainland Europe and their workforce has decreased by about 70%. Post brexit or pandemic effect?
There’s absolutely shitloads of jobs available in the hospitality sector. Ideal for students, not so good for primary family earners.MrLongbeard wrote: ↑Sat Sep 11, 2021 11:48 am

Some things will need to reset, hospitality and service seems to be moving back to pre-cheap foreign labour times and you might have to pay a bit more to support higher wages for UK workers.wheelnut wrote: ↑Sat Sep 11, 2021 12:05 pm The retail and hospitality sector are certainly having a post-pandemic bounce which will tail back to normal levels in the coming months, but there’s lots of other, primarily viable B2B businesses which are still trying to navigate their way through brexit and the pandemic.
She wouldn't touch hospitality with a 10 foot barge pole, she could have had any of dozens of jobs within walking distance, but went with B&Q insteadwheelnut wrote: ↑Sat Sep 11, 2021 12:12 pmThere’s absolutely shitloads of jobs available in the hospitality sector.

Also just as anecdotally, a good chunk of my work is ensuring our clients meet EU requirements to provide their goods on that market, we haven't seen that side tail off at all.wheelnut wrote: ↑Sat Sep 11, 2021 12:05 pm I can look across my customer base and honestly say that the ones that supply Europe have generally downsized and are cutting their cloth, and staff, accordingly. Yeah, I’m just an insignificant, anecdotal snapshot, but I don’t see any reason why my experience doesn’t scale up.
Surely European producers still ship to MidEast ??Potter wrote: ↑Sat Sep 11, 2021 10:48 amGet a grip lad, you posted a fake FB story to moan about Brexit, it might fly on your FB page if your friends are all Brexit moaners but you should have known you'd get it thrown back at you on here.
I'll tell you a real live negative effect of Brexit for me, I want some marine diesel parts, they're made in Europe and I can't get them here, I called a couple of shops in the UK and they can get them imported from Europe easily enough to order if someone requests them, but they won't post them back outside of the UK because it's too much hassle now and they just want to cater to UK people.
I don't know if that's some sort of patriotic thing or the UK postage system is shit, but either way I have to get them posted to someone in the UK, then he'll DHL them out to me.

Keen to hear your views on the positives of Brexit. List them if you like.

And if you need any more help, as you have in the past, over how to assemble your IKEA furniture, or which Mercedes car to buy for your wife, just let us know and we'll be pleased to help. Mwah. x
Nephew is on a graduate trainee manager scheme with a big DIY place, however that's not the point, there have always been plenty of skilled jobs available (aren't you always crying that there aren't enough doctors/nurses to fill the jobs?), but the people that were suffering were the lower skilled people that were losing jobs to foreign workers, but now there are drivers, bar workers, forklift, warehouse staff, etc jobs all over the place.Docca wrote: ↑Sat Sep 11, 2021 11:31 pm
But the above hasn’t helped. It’s formed me that if I want a minimum wage B&Q or bar job- I’m golden.
Any fisherman in here? How’s Brexit working out for them?
The freedom to roam deal isn’t worth all the trade deals with Cameroon in the world.
Dunno chaps, you don’t have sound desperate trying to convince yourself we as a country are now better off than before Brexit.
