to think DS' school knows something the rest of us don't about Brexit?

This isn't a trip for his year group but they are organising a language trip to an EU country by air, leaving on, guess what, 29 March!

I think they come back on 3rd April or thereabouts.

I am a bit surprised to say the least. Do they have inside information that there will be a deal? They've also got a EU trip planned later in April but that was organised months before all this latest no-deal furore, and another one in July, but I'd probably expect things to have been sorted out (to an extent) by then, although they might have to get visas for the British passport holders at shortish notice.

Leaving on 29th seems like playing chicken to me; the kids (and teachers!) might not be able to get back.

A large section of the British public are just very, very thick and ignorant. In fact we celebrate it in this country.

I agree, I'm embarrassed by it.

It'll be fine. I'd let mine go with no problem.

Falling out of thousands of agreements over aviation and trade without a deal is exactly the same as y2k.

Well done you!

Gosh, I love these Brexit threads: it's like reliving Y2K all over again grin

BINGO

(Do I win?)

To everybody laughing at the veŕy idea there could be any travel disruption, did any of you read the link I posted? Produced by our own Brexit backing govenment.

The trip doesn't apply to my son's year group, he went on a similar trip a few years ago. So it's not my cash I am worried about. I just think it's a really odd thing to do. It will be interesting to see what the feedback is and if it goes ahead in the end.

If there is any doubt with school trips they are generally cancelled as some London trips were after the terror attacks
But there IS Doubt.
The odds of No Deal are over 50%

And No Deal means No deals of any sort with any other country or organisation until new ones are written

Planes, ferries etc will literally not be running in the event of no deal

hahahahaha. no of course they won't love

I suppose if they do get stranded there will at least be enough to eat, which may not be the case in the UK
fuckin hell. these threads get funnier each time!

I reckon there will be a couple of weeks disruption which coincides with the Easter hols so more impact but someone mentioned upthread that we wouldn’t be able to travel abroad anywhere at all next year which Is ridiculous

I haven't read the whole thread but you don't need a visa to go back to the country which passport you hold so I cannot see how this would be a problem?

The sheer ignorance of some people is quite scary. This is not a joke. We may well face serious travel disruption. We may well face severe recession impacting on thousands of jobs. We may well face food shortages due to supply chain issues.

If you think otherwise you are clearly not reading the government guidance or listening to the industry experts.

Here you go.

Anybody going to this?

So you’re both very confident of a deal, yes?

I have visions of hordes of English children caught behind the Iron Curtain of Brexit... they return, years later speaking French with a penchant for Truffaut and escargots.

LightastheBreeze, you ‘reckon’? Ah, well that’s okay then

I haven't read the whole thread but you don't need a visa to go back to the country which passport you hold so I cannot see how this would be a problem

I would be staggered if you’d read anything about the issue at all.

In fact, here's the whole list of technical papers covering most no deal scenarios. Knock yourselves out

Look up WINDRUSH

Yeah I reckon

They’re either super confident of Mays deal-making prowess - which is nice- or pig shit ignorant.
(I have my suspicions)

This. Again and again and again.

Are you hoping for a lot of disruption then talktotrees

Sorry, bold fail
