This is a chance for the expat people of the UK in Spain to do something constructive for themselves. Make the effort and participate - the survey can do only good and may help Brits from inflicting more damage on themselves.

Have completed the survey but it does smack of closing the stable doors after the horse has bolted 🙄🙄

LosParadosLady is right of course and fitting that a lady should say it. Some Brits rent the house next to ours throughout the year. Most of them are outright but non-expressive regarding politics. This year (you don't need a passport to visit Ireland; an umbrella will do) the female-of-the-species has changed the terms-of-engagement with one wife informing us that "Brexit-effing-Bob" will never again influence her on which way to vote. One thing I can't take from the Brits is their ability to laugh at themselves (I'm not being my usual cynical self; I say this as a compliment).
But, any Brit with an interest in fair play and the betterment of the UK must start somewhere to Bring Boris and his party to account for his dreadful wrong-doings and misinformation about the UK's years in the EU. Even I have contacted the Irish minister of Foreign Affairs regarding the plight of Brits under-the-radar in the EU.
If you wish to do some good for the the UK and its people you could do worse than completing the survey. Please don't think I'm a knocker of the UK, because I'm not. Just have a look at the petrol shortages in the UK at present. Britain's exit from the EU is a gift that just keeps on giving (my cynicism is rising again).

Survey completed. The Brexit cultists though refuse to believe there are any issues. And any issues that they are forced to recognise immediately become “The EUs fault”.
Johnson’s brag of a “10 year plan to make UK a superpower to rival China and the USA” is not only somewhat sad in its inability to recognise reality, but smacks of Nero fiddling while Rome burns.

You just can't help yourself can you Mathew, yet another unwarranted attack for the UK. If you were to be honest, and not just with yourself, you will see that the alleged fuel shortage is nothing at all, Scaremongering by the BBC and MSM resulting in foolish panic buying. This has absolutely nothing to do with BREXIT, but hey ho, let not the truth get in the way of your anti UK rant.

Well, I completed the survey which I likened to shutting the stable door..... Today my inbox brought a request to complete a government survey a year post Brexit. At the risk of being cynical I think a new ashtray for my motorbike is in the offing. 🙄🙄🙄

To be fair Andy if we had European drivers available then we wouldn’t have had an issue with fuel being delivered to the garages and we might also have fuller shelves in the supermarkets. But I do agree with you it was sensationalist journalism with headlines like “BP to close garages” which started the panic buying along with headlines like “Christmas is under threat” but funnily enough that didn’t cause a rush on turkeys but lots of people buying toys earlier this year just in case. BTW BP initially only had 100 out of 1200 forecourts with limited fuel and only 5 were fully closed. I don’t know for sure but I would guess that there are more than 1200 fuel stations in Greater London so 100 with limited supply is no need for panic but why let a potential disaster go to waste for a sensational bit of journalism.

Exactly my point ErnieR. I note that a local Spanish Company is advertising for HGV drivers and are currently unable to fill the vacancies.
