Discount designer clothes time.

I think I prefer fish and folding bikes but I'm certain they will get a mention again soon enough.

Leaving aside the specifics how do you think the negotiations are shaping up as we get close to the crunch? Is Brexit looking like it will deliver all you hope for?

Do you anticipate any impact on your business (genuine question, I recall you as being an online merchant, not sure if this extends to Europe or just UK and/ or whether you rely on EU supply lines)

Looks like that went up last night. If it is a mistake, it's been wrong for an awfully long time.

It's still got the get-out: "It will be updated if anything changes."

Sorry, it's still got the farcical get-out, "It will be updated if anything changes."

Negotiations are going exactly how i thought they always would....right to the last minute.

Success/failure of the UK's decision to leave the EU will be judged in the coming years when any deal/no deal scenario can be seen working/not working and not now because some don't like us leaving regardless.

My business is fine as things stand. I supply solely to the UK market. If tariffs on goods change coming in from Germany change then they change for everyone in our sector. Our prices with our distributor are fixed for 12 months in advance and as of this week, whilst the outcome of talks is still an unknown, they are not worried re supply or future pricing but as with everything in business, if changes are needed then changes will happen. I fear the likes of Amazon selling stock at prices vastly under UK RRP than I do brexit and they are far more of a threat to me and many other sellers in the UK imo.

If tariffs change? 20 business days to go and you don't know (haven't looked to see?) if your supplies would be subject to tariffs? Have you checked your contract to see who would pay tariffs on goods where the tariffs were applied after the contract was signed?
 
On the earlier discussion regarding expats - theta an awful lot of pensioners in my neck of the woods who have been left high and dry because of Brexit.
The cold hard facts are they don’t have enough money in the bank that means they are entitled to a SIP card (access to public healthcare)and they can’t afford to pay for private health.
These are your normal, working class who thought they could enjoy retirement as their pension would go much further than it does in the U.K.
To get residency requires a certain amount in the bank again and the new TIE cards also require things most haven’t given a second thought about before now.
It’s a shame, it’s people’s lives but as some have alluded to, it’s not their problem so who cares..
Oh, not one of the ones I talk to voted for Brexit so I won’t be laughing at their predicament any time soon.
