What on earth do they discuss all day?

While behind closed doors they probably spend the day playing cards, while glugging champagne and guzzling caviare.

This is what the EU really wants'@Igor Ivanovitch:"Fishing is a distraction. What the EU wants is the UK to sign up to the level playing field which considering it will be in perpetuity is far more valuable to them. It binds the UK to EU oversight, if not control."Expect the EU to give way on fishing to obtain what they really want."'A huge waste of time' @Eddy Llewellen:"Surely this is all theatre. What on earth do they discuss all day? How long can it take to go through all possible options and decide there is no way to meet in the middle?"This is either the most inefficient negotiation in the history of mankind, a huge waste of time and money or just theatre to persuade us that the negotiations were very difficult. Which is it?"... Daily Telegraph

Today: Merkel and Macron make last-minute push for Brexit deal as they soften EU demands over the level-playing field. Meanwhile, UK officials hit out at EU for reports that progress has been made on fisheries, and Boris presses ahead with Internal Market Bill in case talks fail.Merkel wins internal battle to soften level-playing field position: Going into the big day, France have fired a warning at Angela Merkel, suggesting a bad Brexit deal will hammer Germany's economy as tensions rise between EU member states. Europe Minister Clément Beaune warned other leaders not to weaken as the final deadline looms with Macron fearing he is losing the internal EU battle to hold out for the hardest position. France has been saying it is ready to walk away, but Germany is employing patience in the hope of finding a compromise. A diplomatic source in Brussels has told the Times that Merkel and Macron closed ranks yesterday to give Boris Johnson a final offer on Brexit trade talks. They said that the French and German leaders agreed to weaken the EU's demands over the level-playing-field, although the new stance comes with a renewed warning that Macron is ready to abandon talks to concentrate on preparing for no-deal. In a sign that, for now at least, Merkel is winning the EU's internal political battle, EU leaders are said to have reduced demands as we enter into the final few hours of talks.The EU has been split over how hard to push on regulatory alignment, with France, Italy, Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark and Romania taking a strong line. Germany, Sweden, Finland, Austria, the Baltic states and central and eastern Europe are keen to avoid the economic disruption of a no-deal. UK hit out at EU for claiming fisheries progress: As well as a rollback on level-playing field demands, the Telegraph is reporting that the EU have backed down over post-Brexit fishing rights. Sources in Brussels said talks on fish were "closing in" on a political agreement. However, the details of the so-called 'back down' suggest that Britain could offer a transition period on fishing of around 5 years and in return the EU would hand back at least 50% of its fish quotas instead of the 18% it has been offering. This sounds more like the UK compromising than the EU backing down.It is important to note that British officials still stress that a final agreement on fishing has yet to emerge and that a softening of the EU position does not mean we are there yet. In fact, UK sources have been quick to rubbish EU claims that fishing has been agreed, suggesting Brussels was perhaps on the verge of agreeing something with itself. A UK government source has told Sky News there has been "no breakthrough on fishing", adding: "Nothing new has been achieved today." One EU diplomat said: "The fish discussions are closing in on a political landing zone [but] discussions are slow. Expectations are low on a solution being found in the next 24 hours."'Very gloomy' Barnier: This morning, Michel Barnier has been briefing EU Ambassadors on the current state of play in Brexit negotiations. Simon Coveney, Ireland's Minister for Foreign Affairs has said that Barnier has given a "very gloomy, very downbeat assessment" to member states on progress. "He is very cautious about the ability to make progress today, there really was no progress made yesterday, so we've got to try and make a breakthrough at some point today," he said.Boris Johnson is expected to call Ursula von der Leyen later today to wrap up two more days of negotiating between Frost and Barnier in the hope that the final sticking points can be worked through.Internal Market Bill to return with 'offending' clauses: The Internal Market Bill is back in the Commons today and according to the Telegraph, the government will reinsert the 'offending' clauses in the Bill but will make it clear that "safety nets can be removed" if they are no longer needed.A senior Government source said: "We have to go ahead with this tomorrow, but if it becomes clear that the issues can be resolved in a legally binding way as part of a trade deal then the Prime Minister could take out the sections that people object to. Safety nets can always be taken away when they're not needed."The Bill is expected to ping back and forth between the Commons and Lords in the coming days, giving negotiators a little more time to work out remaining differences."Whatever the EU wants to do, we can accommodate them," one senior Conservative said last night. "If they want to do a deal and be pleasant, that's no problem at all. If they want to go to war, we have the ability to do that."... but could still be removed later: The UK government will consider dropping the clauses in the Internal Market and Finance Bills provided "long-term and legally sound" solutions are found to the most contentious parts of the Protocol, according to RTE News. According to their two well placed sources, the EU UK Joint Committee could complete its work on the difficult issues which will be tied to the conclusion of a Free Trade Agreement.If we do get a conclusion to trade talks, then we could find that a Joint Committee meeting is quickly called to close off the outstanding issues, some of which would 'dissolve' anyway if a deal is agreed, although this has only been reported by RTE off the back of two sources. There is also the prospect that even if the Internal Market Bill clauses are reinstated in the Commons, the clauses could be removed later in the week if the choreography all goes to plan.In other words, this would hinge on the Joint Committee getting solutions agreed, as well as Barnier and Frost coming to an agreement on a Brexit trade deal. Both still far from certain, although the former seems more likely. In recent weeks, diplomats on both sides have said that steady progress has been made in Joint Committee meetings and that there are no major political difficulties dividing the two sides, however some technical issues are yet to be completed. It is also understood that member states have been given a flavour of what the solutions might entail. Joint Committee to meet in Brussels: This morning, the two sides announced the Joint Committee is meeting today in Brussels. The two sides, led by Cabinet Office Minister Michael Gove and European Commission Vice President Maroš Šef?ovi?, will discuss "issues related to their work as co-chairs of the Withdrawal Agreement Joint Committee," such as the implementation of the Withdrawal Agreement, including the Northern Ireland Protocol.Šef?ovi? tweeted that both sides are "working hard to make sure it is fully operational as of 1 January 2021". The UK statement has also specifically said that the work of the Committee is separate from the ongoing negotiations about a deal on the future relationship between the EU and UK. For the latest news and developments throughout the day, please do follow @GlobalVision_UK on Twitter.Thanks for reading, and enjoy the rest of your day.

Alp, the bank incident I referred to happened in the mid 90's before the USA really clamped down. Despite the staff acknowledging that they knew very well who he was, they still wouldn't serve him. About 15 years ago I had a very similar and amusing incident here in the UK. Again with a teacher (a woman friend), we went into her bank where the girl behind the counter demanded ID. My friend looked at her, and very firmly said "Tracey (it had to be a Tracey of course), I spent 5 years trying to effing teach you maths, who the hell do you think I am!". She got served without any more ID nonsense,
