They are frightened that we will prosper and they maybe won't

i'll stand beside you once i've had my 2 ops (y)(y)
 
These european's have taken over, since the lack of english visitors, maybe it will improve with safety in numbers. 😁 Bob.

What an odd post! Not my experience of how E.U. citizens have behaved towards us when visiting the E.U. after Brexit. We were in Spain & France last summer and mingled with hundreds of E.U. people and found no difference in their behaviour towards us with them being simply friendly and courteous towards us.
 
Two of usI said:
We were also on a site in Spain and were offered the wrath of some Germans for us wanting to leave EU.

I do find that odd ! We spent quite a while in Germany after leaving the E.U. including a campsite in the Black Forest stuffed with Germans and once more treated as before. No doubt there will be E.U. citizens who own motorhomes who have an immense dislike for the Brits just like it is with us. It would never put me off as it's a tiny minority who are racist.
 
No problems for us in Spain either so far.
The usual friendly banter with one Dutch lady politely asking why we now showed UK instead of GB on our stickers.

I explained and she was genuinely interested and understanding of the reason.
 
We were in Benidorm yesterday, (8 drinks for £13.20). Plenty of Spanish welcoming us.


I have chatted with three Spaniards this week. Two had lived in London in the past and one still has some kind of residency and pays taxes in the UK. They were telling me how they feel for us with the 90/180 day rule and that they love and miss most of the brits.

We are not on a campsite at the moment, we are at our house.

But I do find when on a campsite, there is always some busy body has something to say for themselves and make negative comments regarding the British. Even before Brexit. Even some Brits can be really annoying. Like the Bloke in Annecy who accused me of dripping my waste onto the pitch, scoffed when I told him it was condensate from my Habitation A/C.

Sometimes, when its visibility is not a requirement. I cover my reg up.

We were in lörrach in Germany in 2020. A friend came to visit us in his car and parked next to our MH. One of the wardens walked past, saw his car, ignored it until he saw our registration plate was UK ( could not see the reg of our friends car). It was then that he turned on his heels and started to berate us for having a car next to our pitch (not allowed on the Stelplatz part of the site).

As he started to shout at us in English for having the car there, our German friend piped up and gave the warden an earful in German. That surprised him !.

I could write a book about campsite shenanigans. We just say hello, mind our own business and occasionally make friends with the neighbours. But I just wish some people would mind their own bloody business.

We were on a campsite near Agde the morning after the referendum result, and we didn't know how our French, German, Dutch neighbours would react after hearing the news....to a man / woman, everyone of them were jealous of us and wished that their governments would allow them a vote! Been back there since, usually lots of the same families, and always a welcome.
 
Hi.
We were over in Portugal,when UK voted leave,we did not use the postal vote as we would have cancelled each other out . Only comment/observation we have had, a very close portuguese friend/neighbour asked. " Why have you ( UK ) left the family ( EU ) ?
Me, tying to look at the world through portuguese eyes,i don't think it matters one bit if the orders have " EU or Portugal " on them,life has not altered and hopefully....... Never Will .
I think the Italian " Mr Big " In his office in Italy, of the Ireland/UK/France/UK/France Meat Merry Go Round. Clocking up subsidies had it right when told it was technically against the law,he said. " You can pass all the Laws you want,you do not have to abide by them "

The change of the international designation of British insignia from GB to UK has nothing to do with the EU stars, as it will apply in any country in the world.

I do not know why the UK government applied to the UN agency to have it changed. Was there pressure from NI?

Does anyone know?

We were in Weatherspoons yesterday 8 pints were £7.92. But it was raining.🙂
 
We were at the Dutch Horse site NW of Lorca, winter 2019/20. Only Brits on site, others all Nederlanders. One shouted at me furiously for Britain abandoning the EU, said I should be ashamed of myself! I think it's the attitude of a bully or someone poorly educated and the height of bad manners to berate a stranger in that way. I hope his fellow countrymen within earshot were ashamed of him and themselves, for not speaking up.

Exactly the same reaction we received in a Lidl car park in Souston that same morning.......... hope you had your clothes on in Agde (y)(y)(y)
 
Different strokes from different folks, chatting to a shop owner in Delft ( also a m/homer) passed the comment that the majority of Dutch people wanted out of the EU but the Dutch Government would not play ball as they thought it would lead to a caving in of the EU community as : The Germans make the Rules, The French ignore the rules, The Belgians, Dutch, Danes and English pay for their rules and every other country in the EU benefits from squeezing us dry, just look at * all the new roads and unfinished or useless projects in the poorer parts of Europe, all EU funded! * This will go on and on, Back in the early 1960's we were in Brittany with my parents and me, my sister and mother were all blond haired and we were ignored and even spat at in one case as they thought we were *Allemande, Les Boche! * You cannot legislate for ignorance and prejudice .
 
My brother had a bit of “attitude” from a Spanish restaurant manager about Brexit on the Costa Brava back in 2017.

Let’s just say he picked on the wrong bloke:giggle:

I haven’t come across any hostility, but if i did i sure as hell wouldn’t tolerate it.

I had a bit of that in the Italian Lakes.

We were staying in a villa near a little village and used to go to this little bar for drinks every afternoon.

The owner was a bit arsey but we didn’t really think anything of it. Anyway come the last day my wife got talking to the owners wife and told her we were British. My wife then saw the owners wife go to the Owner and speak to him.

Oh the difference!! it was free beer time as for the previous 2 weeks they had thought we were a German family!
 
WTF, Life's to Short, especially as its 23C Today... :cool:

Oh. Spent a week in Brittany last October without any adverse comment and heading over in May for a second helping going down south. I think that even the Europeans can work out that not everyone one in the UK was/is necessarily enamoured with the current situation . . . The previous year did Italy, Switzerland and Germany, mostly on busy sites by the lakes when we had to dash out of France to beat our own dear government's 24 hour deadline to avoid 10 days quarantine , and never heard an ill word spoken. Lucky I guess . . . . .
