Also has anyone fathomed this our about Irish passports????

I've done some googling but the info is a bit patchy. Apparently if you have irish born parents or Irish born grandparents you can apply for an Irish passport so you will have dual nationality.
The idea is that when we do split from the eu you will still be able to cross borders in Europe with no issues - possibly still be able to use the e11 card (or whatever it's calling itself now)

That's all I've been able to find out so far, no idea what the costs are or the logistics.
OHs work mate is from oz but he is naturalised now and when he goes back he has to make sure he comes and goes on the same passport. He has 2 passports

I suppose it does not help if your OH does not have Irish passports - he would have to go through passport control I suppose and you would still have to wait the other side

To me it feels a bit like Ireland lost millions through famine and the potato blight and through emigration so it wants some of us back now

My crazy sister has been going on about this:o
I could get an Irish passport and I've never been there:rotfl::rotfl:

I best not mention I got a few shower gels on my travels today.

Not lucky with the Andrex puppies though. Odd that someone on HUKD mentioned they are in my little local store but scanning £7 there was not even a gap for them yesterday, wonder if they are confusing them with the Andrex with blue packaging instead of the pinky/purple puppy one...

In theory I do have a stockpile of the Asda coconut shower gels that were reduced to clear a couple of years ago but 20p shower gels are not to be ignored - might try our other Asda
There were others for 70p but I don't think they were the right ones, the flavours did not look correct

In our Asda there were masses of 18 pack Andrex for £7 in one section and another shelf for them which was empty - I got a random
Guy with a price gun to check for me and the barcodes were all the same.

We do seem to be getting through more loo paper so it's something I need to be more vigilant about, building our small stockpile up

Thinking about it now, about passport control and Gibraltar voted to stay in which us obvious really - thousands of Spaniards cross back and forth each day who go to work in Gibraltar - shops, caf!s, bars etc, without their labour Gibraltar would grind to a halt

So will they all have to go through passport control when we split - imagine the chaos especially in the sumner when there are also tourists going back and to.
