Not strictly speaking a motorhome question but it could well be relevant to some of us

Why are people so angry ? If you don’t think the thread is informative there is an ignore button …. Just saying …

Is anyone boasting about wealth on this thread?

Not so much informative as entertaining

Information is only good if its accurate,first hand and able to be verified in my experience. Otherwise its just hearsay.

Remember boys and girls that rules in Europe are set:

1) for northern Europeans to follow
2) for middle Europeans to work around
3) for southern Europeans to just ignore

Enter by road through non manned border points (oops did i just write that...) and become a little Greek, Italian etc and all will be well. Good luck to the OP's friend, hope he's enjoying the Spanish sun soon

Slight problem there with crossing the channel i don't think there's an unmanned border between the uk and Europe and thats where date in date out is recorded.

I don't think he's a motorhomer - so probably flew... by private jet... to a little unmanned airfield...

I've been back to this thread to read the outcome for the OP's friend, as it's of interest. In truth, however, I don't think anyone should consider what happened as evidence to enable us all to do the same. This is just one person, who broke the rules and got away with it. I'd hate for anyone on here to try the same thing and get caught out. I just don't think it's worth it.

IncidentalIy, I voted for Brexit and I'm fully accepting of the consequences of leaving the EU.

To be honest this was about someone flying back ...not driving in a motorhome which is a completely different scenario .
Its a whole other ballgame when you're in your own vehicle

No he hasn't got away with it.
Only time will tell if his actions have consequences next time he tries to enter the EU.

I’ve just read this thread out to the other half, its better than the telly!

Time will tell whether there are any repercussions.

Oh well, there goes my vote for MP,,,,,,

Just to stir you all up again as some of you may have stiff fingers from not posting for a while

Willy has defied the EU yet again , infact 3 times , he went back over in July, no issues, then he went again in September, guess what, no issues.

He's there as I type this and has been for 2 weeks and will be staying until he's ready to come home which will probably be around April/May time.

Please no posts about him breaking laws, he's educated enough to know he is, and he's prepared to pay any consequences coming to him, thats if any are actually coming to him.

Al

BTW. he's not doing this to defy the EU, thats my little bit of wit, he's just enjoying himself for as long as he's allowed to, doing what he wants to do, good luck to him is what I say

 

[Littlewheels]

A friend just returned Friday went over on July 1st best prt of five months, no issues whatsoever.

I think your lying and its all in your head and just making it all up as you go along just to confuse everyone and make them angry

Seriously thanks for posting this information and lets hope nothing does happen to him/her/them

 

[Spriddler]

Willy

Exactly.

I agree

All the other EU visitors do put economy back into Spain, would I be right in thinking though that they also tend not to drift into the localities as we brits do and spend our money like we do. With that i'm more thinking the other EU's like to sit outside their vans a lot more in groups and have a sing song between themselves or thats how I seem to see things when onsite in Spain, just my opinion though.

Remember the folk i referenced to "ARE NOT MOTOR-HOMERS IN ANY WAY SHAPE OF FORM", these are people who live or have lived full time in Spain for many years who have been asked to leave, these same people, rightly or wrongly, so you choose to decide, who have been over their years, possibly living under the radar, who knows, but have been keeping quite a lot of the local economy buoyant in one way or another.

Yes I know they should have done it the correct way and maybe applied for residency, thats up to them

Don't forget, this thread was to try to pass on any information regarding my mates return to the UK next saturday and what implications he may face in overstaying 90 days.

All the other stuff has been dragged up by others

My brother lives in Portugal, says the restaurants love the British tourist as they drink and eat out a lot, spend their money and tip well. He sees the staff hurry to serve the British while ignoring some other nationalities as they “share one meal and drink water”

 

[Al n Val]

Exactly.

What is this supposed to mean may I ask

if he had been called something else such as Needle, would you have commented with a one word reply such as Pr!ck

 

[Toady]

Calm down, calm down!

Thought most OPs on here were pensioners? Please go for a walk and burn off that anger.

We have been travelling in south France and Spain for the last few months. Spent a fortune on campsites, shopping, fuel and eating out. It must be effecting the local economy the Brits having to head home early?

I forgot to mention tipping!

No boarder manned between Northern & Southern Ireland but makes it an expensive trip.

[mitzimad]

can you get a fine for overstaying in Coventry?

 

[mitzimad]

Thankyou, I for one appreciate what you are trying to do. And admire the attitude of your friend testing the boundaries

maybe he should come back in a dinghy do a proper test of boundaries

 

[busby]

I don't think the Spanish authorities or the British will even consider what impact he is having on the local economy,he has overstayed and will have to face the consequences of the EU legal system.

We will see,,BUSBY,,

 

[busby]

Possibly your friend won't be quite as blasee if they are denied EU entry for deliberately overstaying the 90 days?

Would imagine he can take his money elsewhere,,,He is not a camper so can fly out of the Schengen zone.BUSBY.

 

[busby]

I'm confused. So where do they spend it if not locally?

Think you read that wrong,,BUSBY.
