??Implications Of The Brexit Agreement To Expats, Liveaboards and Long Term Visitors ??

[nortada]

Pointing out the implications, as a livabord of over 30 years, to the UK and wider community to the question you asked, or are we not allowed to ?
Implications Of The Brexit Agreement To Expats, Liveaboards and Long Term Visitors ??

Please forgive me my impertinence but to try and make sense of your message, I have applying some basic punctuation - just hope I have got it right.

So from your experience as a liveaboard of over 30 years, you are pointing out the implications to the UK and wider community?

Clearly, you are free to post what you like but I ask again, what is the point you are making and what is the relevance to Brits currently overseas?

 

[Graham376]

What point are you making and what is it's relevance in Liveaboard Link?

I don't think the post has much relevance anywhere. He doesn't seem to understand that those UK citizens already resident in the EU, whether working or not, are protected and can remain there.

If it wasn't raining and we weren't in curfew until 5am tomorrow, I wouldn't be engaging in this pointless conversation.

It is unreasonable to expect the NHS to pay for healthcare in countries where it costs much more than in the UK.

Do you have any figures for the cost of healthcare in EU countries compared to the UK? I can tell you from personal experience that healthcare in Greece is a fraction of the cost of healthcare in the UK. In 2009 I had surgery for colon cancer and for various reasons I paid for it myself. The cost of 4 nights in a private hospital, all meals, all drugs, the hire of the operating theatre and staff, the surgeon (the Professor of Medicine at the University Hospital of Crete), his assistant, the anaesthetist, the oncologist, and the disposable surgical instruments used was a shade over 7000 Euros. In the UK a similar surgery would be double or more.

When I broke my hip I had to have regular x-rays as part of the recovery check-ups, I could have made the NHS pay through my Greek healthcare but two large hip x-rays cost a total of 6 Euros, so I paid for them myself.

Everything healthcare related is cheaper here, more readily accessible, and of a similar quality.

I must admit to having broken the curfew last night/this morning, returning home well fed and too much over the limit to drive, thankfully had a lift?

My point was that there would be a large influx of those that cannot register or get work permits returning back to the uk in the coming months,with implications to the already stressed uk job market and lack of housing,perhaps as many as half a million.
i know 3 expats who have recently returned and put their properties up for sale in france and portugal,all are struggling to find work currently here in the uk

Rule 1. If you didn't get caught - no rules broken.

1300 - 0500 hrs curfews until 5am on Tue 5th but Epiphany (Coming of the King's) isn't 'til Wed 6th so don't understand the logic

Clearly, there will be some like the 3 your mention, to the best of my knowledge, this is probably an insignificantly small number.

More to the point haven't you got it arse about face? The implications, if any, will be, to the UK not to Brits over seas.

ps Last sentence deleted - contravenes my New Year's Resolution.?

Clearly you have strayed into the big boy's playground and would be happier trending with your fellows on the swings in the Lounge or Current Affairs

do you work in the eu?

So you are using a computer rather than an iPad/phone to post your missives.

Think you are confused by the emojies (?? , ??) fore and aft, in the title; there to make it easier to find my words of wisdom.

 

[nortada]

do you work in the eu?

My dear fellow, at the age of 77, I don't work anywhere.

Rather, I live on pensions provided by a grateful nation and paid for by the efforts of others.

Actually, I still pay enough taxes to the UK Government to cover the cost of my State Pension. Funny old system but I'm not complaining - nobody would listen.?

Good to see that post Brexit the UK State Pension will remain index-linked (minimum of 2.5% p.a.) and the heating allowance will still be paid.

Then there's Blair's £10 Christmas Bribe Bonus.

Is Caronaville in or out of the EU

i guess you must be the same nortada that posted on cruisers forum about 10 years ago when you initially left on your cruise of the med from the uk?

I'm not denying Brexit has created problems for many people but many problems are self imposed. Although there may be a few who decide to sell up and return to the UK, most have had plenty of time to obtain the necessary documentation for work or residence and are staying. There are of course some who just pretended nothing would change until too late to do anything and possibly some wouldn't have qualified even if they had applied for work or residence before Brexit so no changes due to that alone. I suspect (hope) when various problems come to light over the next year or two, there may be changes to" the agreement", maybe by individual countries relaxing the rules.

I'm not sure that items on the undoubtedly huge list of "things that won't really change" can be counted as brexit benefits, much as I'm afraid I failed to whoop with joy at the stunning news that soy sauce isn't going up in price or that we could still get a passport in a colour we could have had anyway.

No, by Gad Sir, there must be an impostor out there.
