Its got worse in recent years for sure.
It not really got worse it's just this lot are crap/arrogant at it and take about 10 minutes to get caught.
What had the EU political machine insured us against? Privatisation, the weakening of the unions, corrupt politicians, business milking people dry, wars, pollution, climate change?

I see it as a good thing, and something I'd hoped was done much earlier (pre-leaving).

I’m in Portugal at the moment and thought I’d watch the Super Bowl.
But no, apparently Sky can’t let me watch outside of the UK in Europe now owing to Brexit. I used to be able to.
Still, at least we got £350m a week more to spend on the NHS.

That's exactly the important stuff the cross party conference will be dealing with, next year you will be able to watch Wendyball anywhere in the EU........

My kid’s in Austria and about to run out of EU roaming data. Once past the limit, it’ll be £100/Gb. Yet another benefit of Brexit.

Truly heartbreaking stuff this. Puts the Turkish earthquake into perspective.
Still, clobber the duty free on the plane. A benefit of Brexit.
Swings and roundabouts.

That is a disgusting amount and blatant profiteering.
Three only charge me £2 a day for roaming to use my existing allowance, so whoever they are with are taking the p*ss.

Not really, just disadvantages and denial.
The duty free certainly exists.
As does the big increase in wages for people at the bottom and copious numbers of job opportunities.
Swings and roundabouts.
People who are used to getting their own way haven't for once.

Reminds me of the time I was in the UAE and some woman was letting her 12 year old 'put things on the room'.
