Major Incident In Southport

[Charlie George]

So they've taken up official residency now?
Or have they all gone home?
I'm pretty sure that Harry was talking about the current situation, not in 2020.

I never mentioned 2020

Works in Spain too but we kept a U.K. registered car out there for 6 years. Used to tax it and MOT it without all the bother of bringing it back to the U.K. for its annual test. I would help my fellow Brits out who lived out there too so don’t waste your time telling me what can and can’t be done for cars registered in one country but used permanently in another.

Naughty.

Very.

 

[Mottie]

Naughty.

Very.

Tell that to the Romainians. And ellal. Just giving him something to bitch about for the next ten years.

 

[carmanmemoranda]

Tell that to the Romainians.

Don't call out others when you clearly break the laws.

Remember what you signed to be a tester?

 

[Mrs Doubtfyre]

Sorry, yes, I meant 2007.
My typo.

So you appreciate the inaccuracies of yours and Harry's comment?

Plus the roving foreign gypsies, driving uninsured, untaxed, with no MOT, trucks around the streets, collecting scrap.

Driving Romanian registered transit vans?

 

[Mottie]

So you appreciate the inaccuracies of yours and Harry's comment?

I’d say they were entirely accurate.
They were foreign, they were Romanian and they had no U.K. tax or insurance. Mot? Dint know if Romania has them.

It would need to be re-registered in Spain, surely?

 

[Mrs Doubtfyre]

What, and there's a 6 monthly turn around in people and vehicles?
Hardly likely, init?

 

[Mottie]

Yep. Would need to. We didn’t though and neither did any other Brits that had cars out there that I knew. Occasionally the Spanish police set up checks on the coast road and carried out such checks but word got out and people avoided them. Nobody I knew lost their car but I did hear of others. Cheap as chips to run another one out though.

 

[carmanmemoranda]

Double standards.

But it's OK to accuse others of doing it, but ignore doing it himself.

Looks like he is actually worse, because he knows what he was doing, without any doubt.

 

[Mrs Doubtfyre]

I'm sure most people on here know perfectly well.

They don't exercise the freedom to go back as often as many people would like

Irrelevant. There is freedom of movement between Ireland and UK.
They can live, work, claim benefits, etc in UK, visa free.
Just as you can travel to Ireland, live, work, and enjoy benefits, etc in Ireland.

You wouldn't be able to test it and tax it without it being registered in Spain.
You'd need the Spanish equivalent of a log book.

Wrong. As usual. Who said anything about it being registered in Spain.
