Blimey! It isn't raining! Was that picture photo-shopped?
Never mind Leatash - when we leave the EU all those Brits who have been going to southern Europe for their hols can holiday in the UK instead.
Because EU citizens will be subject to one kind of check and non EU citizens to another? Same as when we come back into this country UK and EU citizens go one way and non EU/UK go another - and then get grilled as to why they are coming into this country. Might only be a light grilling but it takes longer for those persons to get through passport control. Witnessed that very thing at Bristol ...
Yes of course you have to show your passport. My point is that there may well be longer delays if, once we are no longer EU citizens, the passport control officers have to check out our passports that bit more. Still, us Brits love to queue ............

And bear in mind that such delays are more than likely to increase when we have left the EU. ...
and below are the councillors who sit on the town council's Finance and General Purposes committee. F&GP met about 10 days ago to discuss, amongst other things, possible funding streams for the the building of the playpark. I have no idea which of the councillors below attended the meeting but if anyone reading this post wants to know the outcome of the committee's deliberations then ...
I see two faces in the picture shown in that link of people who are presently councillors. Recently elected Cllr Mawhood and elected wef 2011 (I think) Cllr Terry Lowther. Try them?
