As my 21 year old car I bought in October needs several repairs to the running gear (€1500 plus, maybe €500 urgently) and it's not worth it I decided I would try to finance the purchase of a something a bit newer. I've just been turned down on the basis of my residents permit not being correct, this despite me checking with Immigration yesterday, who confirmed for the second time since brexit that I don't need any other paperwork.
I've also had issues at the airport trying to get back into the country, so either the banks and the police are talking bollocks, or immigration are, but the fact remains access to the financial services I've been able to use for 35 years has been cut off, and all I need is some jobsworth at the border and I won't be allowed back in the country.
With that in mind I've just dropped the car repair budget on an application for German citizenship. Thanks Brexit voting cunts
