    Surely we could have updated UK law to include this protection against roaming fees
    Perhaps you can explain how the UK government can tell phone companies to keep scrapping roaming charges when we are no longer in the EU?

    By legislating. Hope this helps.

    Re: roaming charges

    Gower Salt Marsh Lamb has been given the protected status because of its specific breeding requirements happy times for 3,500 Welsh Marsh lambs , it will mean that it has a unique status , we could see this for other types of specialised unique to UK only protected status products .

    If your within the EU It was possible for a few products to have a unique status a lot were not i.e. Gower Salt Marsh Lamb.

    Lets see if this leads to more .

    I've heard of salt marsh lamb, but never gower salt marsh lamb as anything specifically different.
    Not sure what this really means, that someone rearing salt marsh lamb somewhere else can't call it "gower salt marsh lamb"? why would the want to?
    this probably effects one or two farmers on the Gower

    Yes its unique to the UK which is the wider issue and opportunity .

    There is about 3,500 lambs that the specific vegetation and environment of the salt marshes on the north Gower coastline makes it unique.

    These are not jack lambs

    As long as you are sure, that's fine. I can't speak for everyone else, but I for one can relax now that I know you are sure that fantasy legislation is coming in to undo this.

    What about frictioness trade? Are they going to legislate for that too?

    At an individual level it's obviously not a gamechanger in isolation, but it is one of a huge number of small reductions in the quality of life/increase in cost of life that are a direct consequence of a small majority of ignorant people being too stupid or lazy to figure out what they were voting for. I can just as easily trivialise at an individual level the scale of whatever you think you were escaping by voting for Brexit.

    I suspect that despite the widely reported issues that we all face because Brexit many (including you ) are completely blind to what is happening. And there has been absolutely nothing that I can see to balance out any of the damage done.

    Find a positive. Nobody else has.

    Oh I an see changes, i can see the cost of living has risen, i can see produce missing from the shelves ( though that is partly due to lack of drivers by all accounts ) in the grand scheme of life, The roaming charges dont really bother me, and i certainly understand moaning about it on a football message board will not alter it

    will we have worse times before they get better, it was never going to be easy sailing, we are also in a pandemic, so lets see what pans out, i will certainly be making the most of life, not fretting about roaming charges of £10 for 30 days if i holiday in europe
