Dutch border officials confiscating sandwiches from British drivers because you're not allowed to bring food into the EU unless you've eaten it first. More fun and games to follow...

Eh? I don't understand that bit.

I hope we do the same back, but probably more like Oh come on through

added bonus if you have the rona, welcome to UK!

I think it means you're allowed to have your breakfast before you start your journey, and swallow the evidence.

Weird... don't remember anyone checking me for hidden food when I've crossed the EU border by car.

That's probably because you're in the EU?

Or the fact it's a very new thing is Brexit

[stevie harkness]

If they are going to strictly apply the letter of the law then I wonder what it means for Irish farmers whose land straddles the EU border. If a sheep wanders across a field it might be seen as the import/export of food.

No, I meant an outside EU border.

[stevie harkness]

Kev's right, it's Brexit. In one video the Dutch customs officer even says "Welcome to Brexit" smiling happily as he confiscates the sandwiches.

I highly doubt they't treat you lot any differently to other non-EU nations.

Sure, but there is a slight difference between non-EU and ex-EU.

Brexit has been a shit show for years and there's bound to be a transition period.

But there really shouldn't be, no? Modulo special deals between the EU and the country?

You can take our sandwiches but you'll never take our fweeedom !!

Or a tupac mix tape sent back from the future.....

If they are not careful we'll stop buying their 'adult material', and/or taking trips over to Amsterdam in order to sample the local 'cuisine' and/or engage with 'the local community'. Not that I personally know anything about either of those things, what with my health being beyond ****, and also being a boring sod.

There used to be a poster on here, "something Dutch".
Anyone remember him?
