Merely having an opinion Matthew, I for one believe both the UK and EU will do well going forward but then as I say, it is my unprofessional opinion as I do not profess to be either an expert in International Trade or an International Financial Expert. Have a nice day and hopefully a safe 2021,

My impressions from speaking to various people is that the euphoria of Brexit is more to do with intangible things such as being a sovereign state again and not being governed by the European Union.
I hope I am wrong but I doubt whether anyone will see any tangible benefits in the coming years

...021,
Can you show me one post here from anybody professing to be an expert? From where I sit, you're the only person to use the word "expert." However, thanks for giving us the benefit of your opinion and once again closing a good thread.

Seems crazy that they have given up sovereignty to have the illusion of sovereignty!!
Sovereignty to me means having control over your future and the future of your protectorates and lands and people.
To get the deal, Boris had to give some power back to the EU regarding the Human Rights Act 1988; in which is enshrined the statutes laid down by European Court of Human Rights - that cannot be altered to the detriment of any person or the deal is in jeopardy.
Then there is Gibraltar; who it now appears will join the Schengen meaning passport checks for UK citizens but not EU citizens ... Gibraltar is the UK ... yet UK passport holders will be subject to border controls ... how is that not giving up sovereignty?

As a UK Citizen/Resident who voted to Remain, I have come to accept the situation as it is, no point getting wound up by listening to Brexiteers, these type of topics do nothing except churn up bad feeling, we are where we are best to live with the consequences and move on. I used to come to Spai...

...n for 5/6 months rent an Apartment (Spending 3K+Euro on rent) Golf for 5 months spending 2KEuro, using shops, bars & restaurants probably another 4KEuro, enjoyng my time trying to mix with all communities, now I might just be able to do that for 3 months in one go, alternatively I'm looking at spending my 5/6 months in Cyprus where they are not part of Shengen Agreement as another possible option, there are no winners in this whole sham.
That’s OK with Cyprus but assumes that the U.K. will let you stay out of the country for more than 3 months at a time - it was Theresa May who insisted on the criteria of 90 days in 180.

Fake News!
Occasionally, when we travel to Spain we travel via the UK. Usually, this ties in with price, shuttle times, journey times. More often we would travel directly to Spain.
Considerably, fewer people from the UK use Ireland as a hub in travelling to Spain. I think a good consequence of the recent trade negotiations we will have much more people from the UK using Irish airports. I suggest anybody say travelling with one stop before arriving in Spain consider a route via ROI.
Be warned though, our airports have food every bit as "not good" as Alicante and Almeria airports - but the nearby hotels (usually within walking distance of the terminal) serve excellent food and probably cheaper than you expect. And . . . . . . . . . you may pay a little more to use Aer Lingus, but it's worth every penny and you won't be badgered to buy Ryanair unwinnable lottery tickets . . . . .. Looking forward to seeing you.
