I’ve done that many a time and not just boats.
That would officially make the IOM a sh1thole.
What exactly does that mean?
Bouba, enjoy this moment. The way things are headed in France you will be in lockdown in the Summer, especially as that lunatic President of yours seems to have killed off the chance of people taking the vax. I am sure I speak for all when I say that come July, you will be inundated with pix of us currently housebound Brits, enjoying the lovely beaches of Europe (other than France), and dare i even say it Wales
. We live for this moment . Keep sending the pix though.....it keeps us going
Basically the French and Germans have totally buggered up the vaccine programme in Europe. I am close to certain that there is now a total split in Europe. those like France and Germany who are desperate to not lose face to the UK and keep us Brits out, and those like Greece and the other countries who absolutely need tourism. Greece has figured out that Germans and French wont be either vaccinated or allowed to leave to other countries outside Schengen (or perhaps even between Schengen which truly would kill the EU), and therefore the UK is their only hope of having a tourist season. I can not see these countries towing the line of France simply to save face for Macron and get him re elected next year. Just my view which others I know disagree with, but I am willing to bet that as long as you have had your two doses, then there will be boating in the Med this summer, perhaps not France or the Rhine.
Yes I think you would be extremely correct in being upset. From what I understand the Greeks at least are catering for this as well as they also know that families wont travel if their kids cannot travel. So for me the key is where there is a will there will be a way. There is no will in either France or Germany at present, but elsewhere I believe there is. Anyway I just feel that we need to be optimistic and pragmatic and listen to the mood music in Europe and it seems to me that when you actually look at it there is greater chance countries spreading CV allowing their un vaccinated population do staycations than there is allowing vaccinated Brits - one or two doses - in to their countries, especially if they have had tests before they arrive. My personal view is that the bigger issue, as Deleted User says, is what policy there will be for returning Brits.
while I agree with a lot of what you say, I couldn’t possibly comment, in an open forum, about the political leaders of the country in which I have, as yet, no legal right to abode ?
Problem is, its got to work both ways, and we in Mallorca are just not up to speed.
You should ask PeteM for a discount ?
Oi!
Wasn’t me, honest guv
