Any chaos will be in Kent ( and other UK lorry parks )

The UK Government  narrative is clear. If there's friction exporting to the EU and it's "all a bit slipshod and disorganised and there's therefore chaos because of failure of the EU to plan" then HMG is going to blame the direct consequences of leaving the Customs Union and Single Market on the EU. We've left the EU and at the end of the year we exit the Withdrawal Agreement's Transition Period that's been in place since the 1st of Feb. During the Transition Period we continued to be in the Customs Union and Single Market although no longer an EU member. That's what's kept our imports and exports flowing freely since then. It means we're yet to feel the practical effects of Brexit. Next year the EU will continue to exist and operate its Customs Union and Single Market. With or without an FTA, as we'll be outside the Customs Union and Single Market and a third country, all our exports to the EU will be subject to checks at the border. Wh...

Were you right?

Well, if you thought last night was going to be wet you were wrong. However it was dark and so I could not get a handle on the chances of rain so I went home top up.

This morning was damp following a heavy dew. The clouds looked ominious but nothing happened.

This evening is as dull as ever.

I parked up and started to investigate. It did not take long to see that the driver's side front spring/damper unit was broken. The tiv was going nowhere fast. First things first. I called the AA and they sent out a flat bed recovery truck to take me home. In the mean time I went to my committe meeting. The AA texted me shortly before the recovery truck turned up. I was able to drive the tiv onto the truck and we made for home. Normally the AA would have taken the tiv on to a garage but it was late and the TVR garages I know were closed. On Wednesday morning I rung Fernhurst TVR to see if they could accomodate me a sort notice - now! Unfortunatly th...

OK Weather

Apart from this morning. Looking back using work's security camera's I'm able to say that the end of last week was a top down affair. Wednesday afternoon's, Thursday's and Friday's commutes were all done top down. Today started off grotty with rain so the commute was top up. However the day has cleared and I expect to drive home top down.
