Don't fill the camper's fridge and larder before heading to Europe.

BBC News - Brexit: UK driver has ham sandwiches confiscated at Dutch border
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-55622331

As daft as this may seem, thems is the new rules.

I used to stock the Bus up at Costco etc before heading to France, looks like that's no longer an option.

This was especially worthwhile if heading to eastern France or Belgium where supermarket shopping seems very expensive compared to here. I don't fancy loosing a week's shopping to the border controls

 

Are those Shippams spreads still sold in really thick white glass tubs ....always amazed me ...so much glass to very little spread .
Are they plastic now .?

 

I love a baked camembert and croque monsieur as much as the next person, but taking food with you and making the most of the Camper's fridge etc was all part and parcel of being in the Bus. I could rock up at the port, cook supper waiting for the ferry, and still have breakfast and dinner planned and bought for the following day. The supermarche could wait until I had chilled for a day, not any more

 

You will have to have a cafe noir instead....

 

“Can i at least keep the bread”

I like to think he let out a little tear when they said
“No everything will be confiscated, welcome to brexit”

 

Shall we call it, the reprieve of PG?

 

In an emergency you could take it out of the bags and just have loose tea, they would probably think it was drugs and wave you through.

The bacon sarnie your eating though, now that would have you pressed up against a wall by a very sturdily built PAF officer...............stop buying bacon in hope

 

used to love to stop part way through the journey and have a bacon sarnie and cuppa, oh well looks like spec and brot instead

 

You might have to buy milk before your quick stop, unless you prefer your tea black, can't take milk with you!

 

Why not apply for the £30 food voucher and get sent one of the boxes of food we see our glorious leaders have been sending impoverished families.

You’d save yourself a good 80% of time throwing it all in the bin.

 

That’s going to upset my Nan we always have to take her bacon when we visit her in Holland

 

Best to go with an empty fridge and cool box, strange how it was acceptable before, it suddenly bacon ham and dairy products. becomes a pathogen.
Does this mean that all exports to Europe of dairy products and animal products are no longer allowed under EU rules

 

Mange tout !

 

I doubt it, but it will have all sorts of paperwork to go with it, a beef spread sarnie wrapped in cling film probably won’t. Does seem a bit daft doesn’t it. Still, as someone said, if that’s the new rules we have to adapt I guess.
