Interesting, will I have to get a UK licence to drive in the UK, my UK licence was exchanged for a French one?

With my recent visit to French hospital for which because of suspected blood clots and on the day "Le Tour" was in town, the Campsite Manager/owner called for an emergency car (ambulance) with paramedics to pick me up from campsite and transport me to the hospital approx. 45 minutes away. The manager asked if I had the green card, by which he meant the E1.11 card otherwise the cost for the transport would be very expensive!

Hi Roger

At the moment no one knows what is going to happen after the 29th March, least of all the government. We have some flights booked for July but they are explicitly not guaranteed. The International Driving Permit can only be obtained over the counter from a small number of major Post Offices. Insurance is a can of worms. Visas, who knows.

Am currently combing through the family tree for Irish relatives.

We are off to Italy from Harwich on the 10th April, so "Keep calm and carry on" I guess.

>Am currently combing through the family tree for Irish relatives.

While in France we stayed at a site owned by Dutch family. Upon arrival we were invited to the bar for a complimentary drink. During the conversation he commented on my surname Coleman saying that it's origin was from Ireland! Have to investigate further

So I was born in Germany, can I apply for German citizenship and then I could be a European

My friend who had a German father and has lived his whole life in the UK, has just received his German passport!
I am married to an Irish man but I am not allowed to have an Irish passport. I wonder what will happen when we travel
abroad together? I suppose I will be queing whilst he walks through.

All those with Euro number plates will have to replace them, and display a GB sticker.

Nah, think I'll keep mine on.

Kath and I were just talking about this yesterday. I am due to have my next hip operation at the start of October, so add on the time I can't fly afterwards with the recuperation and learning to walk properly again,so we were talking about looking at March/April. Suddenly this bell went off in our heads and we got talking about similar things to Randa.

We were in the Canaries just after the Leave vote was announced. kath is multi-lingual and we were in the company of some French, German and Spanish families. We were stunned about how angry (and possibly hurt) a number of them were with us. We felt a bit emotionally battered.

Like Randa, not wanting to be overtly political, I am really concerned about the reception we will meet in the rest of Europe when we try to continue our lifetime of visits, both short and long to the Continent. Perhaps not ordinary people but how hard will minor officials make our lives? MikeT

We were in Greece when the result was announced, and we were roundly congratulated by all the Greeks we met.

I agree with Roger, I am more concerned about getting out of the country and the pet passport system still working to be honest.

I wouldn't worry about people being angry with us, the overriding reaction of the many Dutch, Italian and German people we have met this year has been largely of sorrow / incomprehension.

I do apologise. I didn't see it that way at all!
