I don't want the thread to go off piste and I'm certainly not getting into politics but for the record I voted remain. The press were stiring the pot on both sides and were as poor as the politicians, they all lied before the vote to suit there own argument and point of view. Some of them still can't except it and use it for Boris bashing at every opportunity...( I didn't vote for him either!) They do the same now with the pandemic, it's pathetic.
Being the pragmatic type I'm just trying to get on with it and deal with the fall out of leaving the EU the same as everyone else is that's effected by it but yes totally agree... the rules for countries outside the EU have been the same for years...

It's been 2 weeks 🙄 , everyone is learning the new protocols needed .

Back on subject , with figures banded around of between 5 - 10 millions being lost by not setting up to export , could be that someone could corner the market ?, Lot of money there .

Only 2 weeks
Could someone corner the Market?


I wouldn't be surprised someone is currently working on it.
Will it cost us more than before then? Probably yes, a bit annoying but at the end of the day it's only fishing bait.

Too big a risk. For all our talk we've yet to see how the Douane feel about it. After all of this they may end up not giving a monkeys.
Who's risking it first!?

I have just been reading about the restrictions we have on taking food and bait to France due to Brexit and was shocked to find that, in the deal negotiated by Boris, hat the restrictions are not reciprocal and do not apply to EU goods being exported from the Eu to the UK. The upside of this is that you can bring as much food and bait back from your French trip as you like......great news !!

Someone like Mainline and it wouldn't be a risk it would be done with the correct paper work and within the law.

Why wouldn't we allow it their food is produced to high EU standards.
We on other hand will be allowed to import such things as chlorinated chicken(which I don't have a problem with) from across the world and the EU wouldn't want that coming into their counties via the UK

There are people still going over now. I haven't heard of anyone having bait confiscated. Whether any of those guys are prepared to share their experience I don't know.

I meant whos risking setting up a business in France, not knowing how big the market will be (if bringing across in the boot continues to be the norm if the Douane don't care) and who's going to risk taking bait across the channel to test the Douane.

I don't think the market is big enough to set up over in France/Europe for us English carpers

People will find ways of hiding the boilies in vans ie air dry your boilies and if it's a panel van hide them behind some panels then just buy a sack of cheap maize as a diversion and if you get stopped hopefully they will just take the maize and not look any further 😉😜👍

The trouble with that Hitman is they'll throw the book at you if they do find anything. You'd be far better off making it look like an honest mistake.
If they xray the van they may think you're trying to smuggle more than just bait out if you've got stuff hidden behind the panels.

I wouldn't stop people trying tho I don't think

Even buying the cheap scraps of boilies firms sell and having them on display may make them think they've had a result

Lol getting your car taken apart to bits by narco squad because of 5kg of boilies now that would be a result 😂😂
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.
