The good news is that, post brexit, duty free within Europe is back !

Bought some perfume at Birmingham airport yesterday 25% cheaper than what I pay in France

I've stashed it away and will give to the missus when I need some brownie points.

P.S. Had a couple of pints of Greene King Abott Ale at the White Horse in Whitehouse Common

I noticed the pound is getting stronger against the Euro too. Yesterday it was 1.21!

I didn't even realise duty free wasn't available pre-brexit ! I know when I used to go on the ferries to Belgium once a year for my Bacci supply, there were still duty free offers on the ships

Crikey guys--if that's the only 'good' Brexit news, it really does show what a disaster it is.

For god sake everyone don't use the word beginning with 'P' and ending with the common known word for Ixodida's or this thread will be blasted into the graveyard of dead threads!

It was just a bad dream.
