    From March 2019 you will be BACK to U.K. Blue Passports minus the EU Logo

    You will be Out of Europe at that time .

    You will have to join the Non European Q when travelling to the rest of Europe.

    Being a non EU country we won't have a need for an EU point of immigration just a UK one and the rest of the world. It will be you joining the Non European Q if you want to visit here. As for us Brits, we will travel around the EU through the short queues while you stand in those massive EU lines. Of course, we will still be a European country.

    All EU passport holders , including me , will have an EU Q.

    All other passport holders INCLUDING UK Passports holders will be in a different Q

    I have an Irish Passport & so I will be in the EU Q Note I am entitled to have a UK passport one as well

    Prety sure the visa waiver is not done on a euro basis. Rather it ncludes teh United Kingdom. It is open to some non EU countries already such as Chile.
    The EU is currently considering cancelling the USA visa waiver over some clerical error. Not sure if that has been sorted out.If tehy do you can garentee Trump will hit the EU back harder. It's what he does.

    I am sure my one was black

    It seems crazy to me that some people are so set on wanting it to go back, really can't understand that. So long as it does the job it is intended to do that is the most important thing Though a bright yellow might be a bit much

    Should we go back to pounds ,shillings and pence too . My parents still use the old imperial system, they have never understood decimalisation.

    I use a mixture. My weight in stones, hight in ft and inches and bra size in inches etc- no idea what they are in metric. When I cook/bake, I am happy with either oz or grams but I do think of an egg as 2oz so if I am not using a recipe I would use oz when making a cake etc. I still buy veg, meat etc in pounds and milk in pints but petrol in litres and my garden watering can is in gallons !. Hot temperatures in F - 80. 90 etc, this is reenforced by time in Florida - our A/C is set in F, but cold 0 - 15 in Celsius (usually in UK for cold temp). How weird is that ? And of course, distance is in miles not kilometres.
    I was at school in the 60/70s and I guess that is how we did it then - a bit of a mixture, but my science degree in the 70s should have got me into metric. When it comes to £, shillings and pence, I do remember them but as I was about 12 when we went decimal, I am also comfortable with that.

    My old passport was definitely more robust than the modern flimsy ones we have today
