even easier one year when i was cycling ..... forgot my passport but there was no obvious border of any kind when passing from france to germany across the rhine ....... bit like the good old days in 1945
more seriously .....
there's no problem entering many non-european countries any more than there is a need for a visa .... and that's nothing to do with having an eu passport

Yes, but as a foreigner and seen as an aunty european. It may take a week to pass through customs.
Remember coming back through Andorra into France and watching vehicles being stopped unloaded and searched by French Customs Officers. Some vehicle were held up for hours.
Remember the old days of some travellers being "strip searched". Not everybody, but enough to show French authority.

PS.
I use to drive regularly from Portugal into Spain and never saw a Customs border, but remember being followed by Police for about 50miles after crossing the border into Spain from France.
(I think the might have been thinking of booking me for speeding, or didn't know what my vehicle was.)

Quick.
Should be able to sell a few Jaguars to China, when we quit the EU.
Trade outlooks better than ever after Brexit.

Tech developer quits UK saying Brexit has ‘killed’ his business
A tech developer with a successful London e-learning company has said he has already quit Britain after 10 high-flying years because of the uncertainty and “mindless tribalism” caused by Brexit.

They are probably going to teach the French how it is done. Part of our overseas aid program.
Fred, I would touch anything built by Jaguar Land Rover, so they can sell as much as they care to China. Only daft footballers and mothers on the school run use a Range Rover.

Sir Keir: Extending Article 50 appears ‘inevitable’
Shadow Brexit secretary Sir Keir Starmer has told MPs that extending Article 50 and keeping Britain in the European Union for longer “may well be inevitable now”.
Sir Keir said the government’s handling of negotiations had left the UK in a position where the only option appeared to be to extend Article 50 and cancel the March 29th deadline set by Theresa May.
The Labour frontbencher also said it was not “viable” for the UK to crash out without a deal.
Speaking in the Commons, he said: “There is a question of extension of Article 50 and that may well be inevitable now given the position that we are in, but of course we can only seek it because the other 27 have to agree.”
He questioned whether the EU would have any “appetite” to renegotiate even if Article 50 was extended.
He said: “I have to say and, with regret, I genuinely think that the way the Government has gone around the negotiations has undermined a lot of the goodwill that otherwise would have been there.”
Sir Keir, on a no deal, added: “I actually genuinely think we can’t do it on 29 March this year. It’s simply not viable, for so many practical reasons.”
The comment prompted father of the house Ken Clarke to ask whether Labour would work with Tory Remainers to ensure a “form of customs union and sufficient regulatory alignment to keep open borders” with the EU.
“We’re going to have to have a discussion, I think next week starting after Tuesday about where we go next and we’re all going to have to enter that in the right spirit,” Sir Keir said.
Labour MP Owen Smith said there could be no Labour Brexit as it would betray the party’s fundamental values.
“There is no jobs-first Brexit,” he said. “No Labour Brexit, no better Brexit, I gather the latest iteration is a sensible Brexit - well, there’s no sensible Brexit either.
“Brexit will eat the jobs, eat the capital - political and financial - that an incoming Labour government will need to implement the radical programme which my friends on the front bench are rightly advocating.
“Any Brexit is irreconcilable with Labour’s traditional social democratic mission and its twin foundations of providing equality and freedom.”
Labour MP Ian Murray, a supporter of the Best for Britain campaign for a second referendum, said: “This is a hugely significant moment, marking the first time a shadow cabinet member has acknowledged that the shambolic Brexit process means the March 29 deadline is unrealistic.
“This is entirely the fault of Theresa May, who has failed to strike a deal that is acceptable to either Remainers or Leavers, and has delayed the vote in Parliament until the last possible minute.
“With the prime minister’s deal destined to be defeated next week, there is now an opportunity to stop Brexit for good through a people’s vote.”

Keir Starmer, Owen Smith and Ian Murray, what fine examples of liebours best. No wonder Corbyn was considered the man to lead that mob.
But leave it a bit and she will edit that drivel into something sensible. Without remembering of course. Amazing how people that don't live in this country are so concerned about our welfare.
