Why didn't the government work out what plan they wanted before triggering Article 50. They could have spent the two years more wisely fine tuning it.

If all these companies all suddenly decide they need support to get ready then do we know where that will come from?
You can see why an FD is pissed off at the thought of spending 200k for nothing. Obviously they need to but how many campuses will struggle to fund such things?
Not sure it's really relevant.
(But I think I'm gradually winning you round)
It's relevent because I was pointing out, admittedly in a very wordy way, that you plan for the worst before the worst happens.
It's not for nothing though is it. It's a risk versus expenditure decision. Only 20% of SME companies that have a complete shutdown distaster survive past the first year post the disaster. Those that do survive generally have decent planning in place.
Can't disagree.

Quite a few seem to fancy a Norway deal,and they manage a border with an EU nation without major problems.Might be a reasonable solution to last out the EU's collapse.

It is to prepare for something that the majority of businesses didn’t want to happen. Surely you can see why companies are very very irritated by the lateness of this. I assume many won’t prepare because they have looked at it and decided that if it is no deal then they will go bust anyway so why bother getting in more debt.
Imagine the chat with an employee “sorry mate, I have to let you, Pete and diane leave because we might leave with no deal and I need to spend your wages on preparing”.
Big corporates can cope but for SMEs it will be hard.
Plenty of reports out there that highlight the switch to internet shopping as a killer to high street shops. One sector particularly badly hit is the electronics sector. Many people go and see what they want to buy in the high street and then buy it cheaper online. I thought you remainers liked experts ? It's what the experts are saying. The internet combined with high rents and rates is killing the high street but you can continue being stupid and blinkered if you like. You're going to explode with fury when FoM is removed aren't you ? *snigger*
I was comparing the governments lack of planning for no deal with businesses not planning for DR/BCP not against businesses not preparing for a no deal Brexit. I get why some businesses might be reluctant to invest in Brexit planning ...... although they'd be foolish not to if they want to survive a no deal.

I was speaking to my Father over the weekend and he told me about how he'd spoken to some former neighbours of his for the first time in ages who retired to Belves in The Dordogne. Never mind the fact they're apparently very worried about whether their pensions will still be paid into their French accounts (which are worth less in Euros now than before the vote) and the grey areas of health care access and actual residency post-Brexit - their property is falling in value all the time apparently due to the number of ex-pats who've sold up and come back to The UK and the fact nobody's moving out there from The UK in the opposite direction.
Still, as least they'll have blue passports soon.

odd story, or perhaps misreporting? BA parent IAG is already a Spanish company, International Consolidated Airlines Group, S.A. expect this is about share holdings owned outside EU, similar to Easyjet setting up a Austrian "HQ" though opertations remain in UK.

Apart from:
20 minutes to 1 hour delays due to custom checks.
Nowhere close to the volume of HGV's that we have passing over our borders.
It closes overnight.

A mutual friend had passed away and he was letting them know, if you're really interested.
Chugginton starts in 4 minutes, so you better run along as you won't want to miss it.
