    Drug trafficking(sp?) maybe. As well as that, how do they know where the boat came from? You could be a refugee for all they know, so I'm sure ID would be required in that situation.

    That's what I assumed, but they're hardly your typical person.

    So I'll repeat, that's hardly 'your typical person sailing their own boat between the countries'.

    I meant your typical person who would be using a private boat to go between the countries, not your typical person out of everybody.

    Its only drug-smugglers or the extremely rich who would typically be making their own way across the sea.

    Look, I don't want to drag this thread any more off topic. Neither of us have statistics to back up our claims. So let's just say I disagree with your post, and leave it at that.

    Grand.

    By the way, are you one of these wealthy people with your own yacht ?

    Sorry if my little joke offended you

    I own a boat (I'm neither wealthy enough, or vain enough, or it's not big enough, to call it a yacht). I'm not offended, but I do know a lot of average Joes, and Jos, who would be nowhere near any 'extremely rich' category who regularly sail to the UK and beyond.

    *thinks* Mmm, perhaps they are all drug runners.

    May I heard it wrong, but will Northern Ireland residents have to produce I.D. when landing on the "mainland".

    Thought I heard a few Unionists getting exercised about it
