  We should now go back to having duty free, I do not drink and did not use the duty free when we had it last time but there were many that did, so in my way of thinking it should come back ,but that will not help our own shop keepers so there good reason for it not to come back. What are your feeling about it? yes or no.

  The winners will be the drinkers; the losers will be GB smokers. It could go either way for the good people of Northern Ireland.

  Oops, I forgot: Eurotunnel and the Eurostar route also stand to win. The Calais warehouses and Belgian tobacco alley will lose.

  Yeah, but the Brits will only be able to bring back 200, which they will be able to get on board Duty Free anyway.

  Yes a nice round trip with a meal sounds good to me but my wife passport has run out and at the cost of£100 to get it back at our age its a no.no. But hope to go to the highlands so it is a very nice Haggis for us in the new year,if we can get out.
