COMMENT EXTRA: Simon Calder

Firmly established as Britain's premier travel reporter, and a very hard worker, Simon Calder of The Independent has come up with these words of warning for British travellers to Europe in his weekly review.  

"Thanks to Brexit, UK travellers have proudly achieved the status of “third-country nationals” alongside Venezuelans and Tongans. We are subject to France’s tests for admission: proof of booked accommodation, a ticket home and enough cash for each day of the stay. Currently the last of these is calculated as three-and-a-half hours’ work at the daily national minimum wage. That figure is currently £36, which most of us could manage without resorting to deceit".   https://simoncalder.co.uk
