Hi Chester1.

How's my best mate on here? I see everyone is arguing the toss as usual. Just listening to England v Germany and Rashford has just scored. Just purchased a new rod and some chenille for the Daiwa 120M closed face reel I purchased off of the late Jan Porter's wife. Will see if it is handy for piking and general river trotting. WOW, Kane has just made it 2-0. Must go now as it's getting emotional because we are finally beating the Germans 2-0 in a tournament knockout match. Brilliant!

At last.  55yrs since we beat the Krauts in a knockout situation. Even if you're not a soccer fan, it's 1918, 1945, 1966, and now 2021. It's party time folks! I'm off down the pub.

Blimey its the ghost of days gone 'bye'! and the only member who can fill the screen with his own profile !

Unfortunately george the butler and oi! The chauffer croaked and the maid got up the duff (george was very fertile at 86) so we had to let her go ,The replacements being middle aged dont know their places so may follow .The maid though at a pinch would be up for your porn shots but would need the contract first and 50% of any monies made on websites like "my maids a slag" or 'the staff need thrashing" or the more premier youporn paid for services ,her one eye and hair lip has real sex appeal for some.

EE will introduce a £2/day fee for mobile roaming in Europe from January

EE's new £2/day flat fee will apply to any customers who sign up to a new contract or renew their existing one after 7 July 2021, unless they are on one of its specific roaming tariffs - 'Smart' and 'Full Works'. The new charge won't come into force until next January and you can continue to roam for free - subject to a fair usage policy of 50GB/mth - until then.  

EE customers with an Essential plan can also choose to take out a 30-day 'Roam Abroad Pass' for £10, which will be cheaper than the new £2/day fee if you're going to Europe and plan to use your phone for more than five days. The provider blames the shake-up on a need to "support investment". 

BT and Plusnet mobile customers, which are part of the same group as EE, are not affected and will be able to continue to roam in Europe for free.  

Currently with EE? You WON'T face roaming charges until you renew

If you're an existing EE customer, it's worth noting you won't face these new roaming charges if you simply do nothing - it's only those who sign up to a new EE deal or renew their contract from 7 July 2021 onwards who may have to pay. 

So you don't need to take action immediately, but diarise to check what's best to do when your contract's term is up. If you're on a good deal currently and expect to be roaming a lot next year, it might be worth simply letting your contract roll on, but it's worth doing a full comparison with MSE's Cheap Mobile Finder tool to check. Of course, if you are considering switching to a rival firm remember it too may follow EE's lead in reintroducing roaming charges in due course.

O2 and Three are limiting their 'fair use' data caps

Separately, O2 and Three have announced changes to their 'fair use' policies which cap the amount of your UK data allowance you can use for free while roaming in Europe.

It's important to note mobile firms were allowed to set fair usage caps even when the EU ban on mobile roaming charges applied, and O2 and Three would have been able to make similar adjustments even pre-Brexit.

While these changes will be a blow for a small number of very heavy users who spend a lot of time in the EU, for most it's unlikely to make much difference. In our most recent site poll, 78% of MSE users told us they use 3GB of data or less each month overall. 

Elsewhere, BT Mobile, Giff Gaff, Plusnet, Sky Mobile, Tesco Mobile, Three, Virgin Mobile, Vodafone and Voxi have confirmed they have no plans to change their current mobile roaming policies - we've also put this question to other providers and we'll update this story when we know more.

Just emphasising this part and adding, for those who aren’t aware that Martin Lewis was a vigorous campaigner for remain.

Do you seriously have any hopes of facts getting through?

I don’t read his **** Ken, so there is no chance that I will reply to him! I was adding to the information you posted, I think most people know Martin Lewis and know he is/was/is a Remainer, he was on social media enough, with him there is little point, Well, As much chance as I have of getting recognition that a RN. Chief Petty Officer is not an ‘Officer’. the equivalent rank in the RAF is Flight Sergeant, ARMY and Royal Marines of a Staff Sergeant. (With a few quirks amongst them)

But there again, he chose to change the anti and promote his nipper to Warrant Officer, which, funnily enough is still not a Commissioned Officer but hey, what the heck, it floats his boat, perhaps even whilst tied up in the harbour with a fecking long rope.

What more expensive  mobile phone bills because of brexit and this is just the start .

You can pay your £10 to cover your holiday it was £5 a day before but it will rise as god made little apples , we weren’t  having  roaming  charges a fortnight ago !!!!!!!!!!!!

It doesn’t matter what they  are now charging now for roaming charges ,they were all FREE before brexshit  no worries but now get your cash out it’s brexit time !!!!!  And of course extra premiums on your  holiday insurance, yes brexit is hitting  you in the pocket from all directions exactly what you voted for

Revealed: EU 'ban' on mobile roaming charges WON'T stop firms charging some extra fees for data

And now businesses right across th U.K. screaming for the EU workers to return .

We are visiting  the Yorkshire dales next weekend , the hotel we are staying is having to close Mondays and Tuesdays  due to acute staff shortages and it’s all round the U.K. in all trades .

Brexit backwardness for all to see !! Well thought out don’t be silly !!!!
