I like the idea of stockpiling steel vintage bikes .....much more fun than panic buying fruit and veg.or some equally boring stuff

Are you anticipating a Brexit-induced shortage of vintage steel bikes then? Even George Osborne's fear factory didn't manage to think that one up ! I can just imagine the Remain hysteria "A vote to Leave would mean an immediate emergency austerity budget, a 500,000 increase in unemployment, and a ban on continental vintage steel bicycles in Britain"

That would be the straw that broke the camels back, sure enough ! On the other hand l could come on multiple cycling holidays to Britain which would be a one way cycle trip and a hitch-hike back home to France

I think we need to hold a referendum on this issue!

when I was young and idealistic I thought democracy was important, now I know you should never trust the people with a vote.

As evidence I give you Boaty McBoatface

It's only just up the road from me, and I'd consider buying them except I have no room

Fair point, l had enough trouble crossing country borders before Brexit so who knows what fun will ensue after the "drawbridge" is raised this time round !
