You can respectfully tell the person who wrote it that I won't be ******* off. Most certainly not on their orders. Although I'm not a Tory voter, I was a leave voter.

…if you check with your provider to be sure, Remy…I’ve just read this, though…and it’ll probably be ok for you…but be sure of that so that you can afford to feed your baby when you need to and haven’t spent everything on phone charges…

Thanks darling
I'll give a call tonight but a lot of people are asking them on their forum and no response so far. They apparently don't know yet.

^ That doesn't look real.

Looks like the writing is from a paint program rather than chalk.

Think Brexit food shortages are bad now? Wait until October

Over the past few weeks, food shortages have been a growing concern in the UK, fuelled by the ongoing effects of Brexit and the Covid-19 pandemic.

The government has been urged to deploy the army to replace over 100,000 lorry drivers, primarily from Eastern Europe, who have been unable or unwilling to work in the UK due to post-Brexit rules and the UK’s Covid travel restrictions. In addition to a shortage of truck drivers, confusion over customs declarations and delays in transporting goods have contributed the exacerbating the problem.

In some areas, certain supermarket shelves have been left completely bare, while others have expressed disbelief, claiming they’re yet to notice the shortages and ultimately labelling the concerns over food shortages a hoax.

But with new Brexit checks set to come into effect from 1st October, the food shortages look set to worsen. From that date, animal and plant products imported into the UK from the EU will require extra paperwork and border checks. The government hopes these checks will be “smooth and efficient”, but based on how Brexit has been handled since the referendum in June 2016, those reassurances aren’t particularly comforting.

Higher prices also expected
Moreover, the food industry says higher prices will be a practical guarantee as European producers pass on the cost of this red tape to British consumers. Just-in-time supply lines are also expected to be disrupted by the new arrangements, which will almost certainly bring about more food shortages.

In an extra twist to the new arrangements, both exports and imports of animal products will require inspection and certification from a vet as of 1st October. However, the UK is experiencing a huge shortage of vets at present, having been reliant on a flow of qualified vets from European countries. Between 80-100 vets used to arrive in the UK each month, but since the end of the transition period, only 20 per month are coming in, leaving a significant shortfall.

Lack of government funding for border control post
To conduct new checks, attempts to set up a border control post in Portsmouth has been impeded by a lack of government funding and no real knowledge over how much will flow through it. An estimated sum of £2.5 million was required to cover the costs of 30 new staff, but the city council claims only £500,000 has been given.

I honestly haven't seen any food shortages as yet

Three is the latest mobile network to announce it is reintroducing roaming charges between the UK and Europe.

From 23 May 2022, customers who have taken out a new or upgraded contract after 1 October will have to pay £2 a day to use their monthly allowance of minutes, texts and calls in the EU.

It follows similar announcements from EE and Vodafone earlier this year.

Three is also extending changes to other destinations, introducing a £5 a day charge for roaming outside Europe.

The move effectively ends Three's long-standing roaming feature, branded "Go Roam", which allowed customers to use their contract allowances in 71 countries, including distant locations such as the USA, Hong Kong and Australia.

"This is a huge blow to Three customers," said Paolo Pescatore, a telecoms analyst at PP Foresight.

"Free roaming to so many destinations helped lure and retain users. Now this is no longer a differentiator, it will be hard for Three to stand out in an increasingly crowded and cut-throat market," he warned.
