Wainy316 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Thank fook I've got an Irish passport now. Did I mention I have an Irish passport? A passport from Ireland. An EU passport from Ireland. One that allows me to freely pass ports in Ireland and in the EU. One that allows me to live and work in the EU. One of those passports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're trying to get deeper into the matter then the surfers and Grauniad's reporting over the past years will add nuance? So the monitoring is much better now but we don’t know if conditions are better or worse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaajax Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I had to get a British passport because I kept getting hassle coming back in. Last time from a lady with a thick Eastern European accent, where's the foreigner solidarity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xann Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 22 minutes ago, LondonLax said: So the monitoring is much better now but we don’t know if conditions are better or worse? They're monitoring more, and better. The total duration hours of monitored spill events between 2016 and 2020 goes up by a factor of 30, which seems quite extreme. There has been more monitors installed too, so you'd expect the base rate to climb to a certain extent. Then it gets more complicated, which is why it's handy to read the accompanying notes in the media that's watching, like the surfer collective and Grauniad. These VT threads don't slice so easily anymore. In this case because we've got changes from the wonky weather now, plus a shortage of public funds after being robbed and crashed. We are getting more problem patterns of rain. Existing flood measures are inadequate and are getting overwhelmed more often. Money that would have paid for gradual improvement has been paid out as dividends. Money for works at regional level to absorb more rain locally, rather than enter the waterways (ie less paving more grass) has been spaffed. Tory Brexit problems are multiple pile ups now. Clusterfails. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must be wrong. My wife looks after the passports, she hands it to be before we go through passport control then collects again. It must look like I’m being trafficked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about you but I think when you add "Great British" to the front of something it makes it at least 70, maybe even 100 times better. Great British Power Great British Rail Great British Wind Great British Bake Off It's just makes me fell like Winston Churchill is in the room with me telling me everything is going to be alright chap and we're going to beat those Bratwurst eating so and so's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Did they sort the signage out yet on the Dartford tunnel? JRM had it at the top of his list of things to sort out. Also the red tape, I guess all that has gone now and we can trade with much less admin than before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
