Huge exodus of European mates has been insane the last few years, pretty much the last of the last of them have left this year.
Been to a few touristy parts of the UK the last month, and every single town/village/tourist trap location is absolutely on its knee's, operating on less than minimum staffing, or just full on closed down, as the remaining staff could just not operate the business (cafe/pub/hotel/b+b/attractions) on their own without pushing them over the edge. Various reasons , but the exodus of good workers has been a large part of it.
Most tourists can't understand it and try to blame everyone but themselves (for voting tory over and over again), but then most of them look quite gammon so probably a waste of time trying to argue with them.
