00:12 I would say I was on the fence with Brexit.
00:14 It was a lot of
00:16 pro-Brexit at the
00:18 time. Not so
00:20 much against.
00:22 Now it's reality.

00:26 Careful what you wish for,
00:28 not so good, but it hasn't turned out like they promised.
00:54 There's been issues with queues, passports, paperwork, groupage in the
01:03 lorries. There's always been a something which is a big problem with a fresh
01:09 produce like fish. If it's held back a day, it's a problem. It's a day less shelf life.
01:17 In the first few months, there was a huge number of problems. Exporting of seafood
01:37 dropped by about 80%. A lot of that has now recovered as systems have been sort
01:42 of refined a bit and fishermen have sort of worked out how to operate
01:48 with these new systems. But it's cost them. It does cost them more money.
01:52 They've lost customers. Their profits have been reduced and
01:57 certainly a number of businesses have closed down as a result.
02:02 The vast majority of fishermen have seen very little if no increase in quota.
02:21 We also have a situation where along the south coast of England, fishermen were
02:27 promised that the area out to 12 miles would be just exclusively for UK boats.
02:33 That's not the case either. In fact, EU boats are still allowed to come within
02:38 six miles of the shore and that particularly upset the fishing industry as well.
02:43 You get your distant friends every day coming to say hi.
