How do we resolve the Brexit mess?

Similar in Madrid for the Atletico game in April. Queued for nearly two hours at passport control at two or three non EU desks along with a planeload of Americans and various other nationalities. Some old fool was loudly saying that it proved we were right to leave because they’re treating us like shit as punishment, without realising that we’re being treated exactly the same as all the other non-EU countries which is exactly what twats like him voted for. On the plus side my passport has loads of stamps in it that I wouldn’t have had previously. Brexit bonus!

You could get your passport stamped whilst we were in the EU - if you asked politely, some officials would stamp it for you.

it’s just that no-one knew; my brother-in-law told me about it - he used to ask each time he went abroad.

I’m sure that’s the case. However the benefit of getting a stamp in my passport doesn’t outweigh the benefit of getting past passport control 20 seconds quicker, and certainly doesn’t outweigh the benefit of not having to queue for hours in some cases.

I entirely agree; was just pointing out that the chance to get your passport stamped was always there - but most people didn’t realise.

I'd prefer to be off the plane and through the electronic barriers and out the airport in 10 minutes. Rather than queue and be treated like the third country rules that our beloved government agreed to after the country voted for SoVrUnTeE.

But that's just me.

As per my response to West Didsblue - I agree; I voted remain!

Dad if you could change anything to make life better what would it be?

Queuing son

Really? That's the limit of your imagination. The pinnacle of your dreams?

Yes my life is really that empty.

I dont like queuing. It's the limit of my imagination.
But I will queue to appease our European counterparts if it makes them content.

Probably one for the other thread but all those folk marvelling and saying how great it is that so many people are queuing to see the Queens coffin have spent their entire lives turning a corner and saying " oh shit have you seen the size of the queue? " I am not a leaver of games early but those that do are doing it for a reason - and its not to make sure they are at the head of a queue - its to avoid one lol
