NowTV UK and Amazon Prime UK immediately stopped working outside of the UK on 1st January 2021.

Oh I'm sure the mobile operators won't follow suit asap with roaming charges coming back in :lol:

So much winning!
I noticed this morning that my sons Amazon kindle fire content no longer plays the video content - gets an error about jurisdiction

Roaming charges in the EU are bound to come back, but they will time it so they don't look too bad. The Vodafone position pretty much suggests as much:

"We have no current plans to re-introduce roaming charges in EU countries following the UK’s departure from the European Union."

I give it 6 months before they're re-introduced.

It's up to the partner carriers in the EU whether they decide to start hiking the roaming fees Vodafone and the like have to pay for UK customers. The UK carriers will obviously pass on the cost to consumers.

Agreed, but the end result is still the same.

and of course if any uk carriers decide to put fees on EU customers its likley they will do the same in return... probably nobody wants to make the first move but at some point its probably gonna happen

Reminds me of the old newspaper headline ..."Fog in Channel, Continent cut-off". Now its "Charges on roaming, EU cut off"
 
Sarcasm dude. The import duty alone on one purchase from Europe has almost cost me as much as my annual EU contribution already. Not to mention its still stuck in Liepzig...

Sorry for misjudging you.
 


It sums up why the Remain campaign failed to resonate. After 40 years of EC/EUmembership, many people took all the positives for granted and thought Brexit was just adding some gains to (or removing some annoyances from) the status quo. And there was no way to disprove all the “Project Fear” smears until we actually left and had to experience these issues.
 
One english word (though from German origin I believe) that I learnt with Brexit is Shadenfreude

Thats my positive outcome, Thanks tories

Yes this is all the remain camp’s fault

Well, one good thing that has come out of this is that this will serve as a stern reminder to all the remaining EU members for the next year or two of the cost of leaving the EU
 
The amount of extra work brexit has caused me I want to ban everyone on here who voted for it:mad:

how do you explain the fact that you get no roaming crafted in many non EU countries?

considering how left wing the forum is, it won’t be many...

However, in all seriousness, the referendum was 4.5 years ago. It’s not the people who voted for it you channel your frustration at, it’s those who implemented that direction, and the parting of ways. On both sides of the channel.

Same. I run an export transport company and the work is relentless, it’s caused absolute chaos for us and every one of our customers like we knew it would.

A lot of companies will lose huge business because of this.

I still can’t believe it was voted for and actually happened, it’s benefited the UK in no way and caused massive disruption to trade and business relations between the UK and European companies.

All for what? It’s not like we make billions more as a country as the tariffs are zero rated on the whole. Just so we can tell foreign fisherman what to do? Or change our laws when we want? I don’t remember there being any issues getting fish & chips or the judicial system previously.

It’s an absolute joke, waste of time and money.

I understand that Vodafone at least have said that they intend to enforce their fair usage policies, which won't be a problem for holidaymakers but will for those of us living abroad permanently - I think the rules are no more than 60-odd days in 6 months. I have both UK and Italian phone contracts as you can't really give an Italian business a UK number to call you on.
 
That eel exporter who regretted voting Brexit? This is his interview a few years ago with UKIP supporting Brexit.

The amount of lies that goes on in that interview.


:lol: Belarussia

One thing that puzzles is me why Brexiteers think they will suddenly penetrate markets they struggled to reach before.
 
I’m beginning to think this might not have been a good idea after all.

It’s bollox, especially when you factor in the additional customs requirements to purchase from the uk now.

What I’m finding is that businesses on the continent are woefully unprepared to send goods into the uk and likewise do not want to deal with customs clearance to receive goods from the UK.

Brexit will do nothing but limit our ability to penetrate new markets and jeopardise the existing ones we have.

I don't think he's lying, I think he is genuinely extremely thick.

It's the impression I've had all along, Brexiters actually believe that they couldn't export outside the EU.

Why not? You can argue people may have changed their mind since then and you can argue about the quirks of the FPTP system which allow results like this to happen but we had an election since where one party promised very clearly to 'get Brexit done', even on a no deal basis if necessary, while the others offered, at the very least, to run a 2nd referendum. And those other parties got trounced.

'The people' voted for it in 2016 and again in 2019 and now they must live with the consequences.

Blaming the other side of the channel is a bit like blaming your gym when you used to have an all inclusive membership at a David Lloyds, decide to downgrade it to a gym only membership so you can use that extra money elsewhere and then act surprised when you aren't allowed to use the pool, the steam room or the tennis courts afterwards.

How on earth could he have been so hoodwinked? I can't imagine voting for something that would so directly shoot me in the foot. Wow.
