Since this applies to all EU countries will this apply to you mate?

Looking forward to not having so many e mails even when you select unsubscribe to the things.
Ended up sending them to spam but the things still get through.
Then when one you want to come through goes to spam.
At least some peace until we come out of the EU eh!

GDPR will continue to apply to us irrespective of whether we're in the EU or not as Royal Assent is due to be passed today on the new Data Protection Bill which replaces the Data Protection Act and actually writes the GDPR requirements in to our laws (Data Protection Bill [HL] 2017-19 — UK Parliament) - we're cutting it a tad fine. Of course it could always change again after we've left but I doubt it as we'll want to continue trading with the EU and GDPR will most likely be a requirement.
It's a good thing as consumers and a right pain in the proverbial for a lot of SMBs, many of whom don't have their own information officers or access to the resources they need to understand how to comply with a loose set of descriptive requirements. Having said that it is giving a lot of companies a good kick to review their information security and practices.

If I catch the mailman putting anything through my door without my name and address on it I give it back stating that it is not for me, he does not like it as he has to take it back to the depot

The problem with all the emails re GDPR is that they don't follow the same format. The easy ones are where if you ignore and don't respond you're info is deleted but many are thinly disguised so that you actively have to unsubscribe and if you do nothing you stay in.
I've just spent the last hour opening every one to make sure I take the right action.

I am getting a mob of these emails, strangely none from this forum.

That's because the law is so poorly written, and the guidelines are open to interpretation. Those businesses who can't read beyond the headlines have all been busy asking everyone to click to remain. Those businesses (and forums) who are capable of reading the small print know that is not necessarily a requirement and that GDPR sits alongside PECR but does not supersede it.
The answer to the question that has now popped into everyone's head is, sorry, I have enough to do without having to explain what PECR is I'm afraid, and being ready to comply with GDPR and PECR has eaten away supreme amounts of my life over the last few weeks, but if you really are interested, Google is a wonderful thing.
I think it may have had an effect here!
I normally get a notification e mail if someone quotes or sends a message, but not today

Being in business makes you feel like conquering the world in the field you must love in the first place. Reality in the form of over here for us was the sales tax,a huge volume with untold addendums and interpretations. This nightmare we conquered for five yrs in the 70,s. We closed for lunch every work day, public holidays and annual holiday time.I filmed in 16mm Bridge openings ,special occasions for a very low fee including the full need for a narrative to accompany the film. Advantages were the new colour TV ostensibly to view the 16mm film that was returned after use on the 5 TV stations from Sydney to Wollongong and commercial channels.Life was full with six children,involvement in 26 organisations in an executive position. I joined Masonry and visited lodges affiliated continually. Our children grew up and hived off to Sydney, Canberra Melbourne, Hawaii, Alderman on The city Council (no remuneration),Councillor on The overriding Electricity Authority and keeping our marriage afloat in the best way possible.
It was a sense of relief when I was offered a job back in Canberra as a Photographer and Tech Officer with the Research oriented C.S.I.R.O. commonwealth scientific organisation. Sell up property and close ties with the City over one year when I lived in Canberra returning to Goulburn every Friday night till Sunday night and came back to Goulburn to photograph a couple or more weddings with my wife doing the same work load of weddings.
The move back to Canberra ,buy a house reestablish with three children still at school. Lots of fun. Yes you learn to ration time the best way you can. Burocracy did their best to delay and plot as to how to crucify small business with hardest penalties. Like tap dancing you learn fast or fall over.
When I hear of the tumult in Ireland called the troubles, Nthn Ireland governed by the Brits ( Witnessed this first hand), Scotland trying all the time to succeed from the Brits. Welsh Separatism and so many other things, The Euro Market membership, Brexit just as much uncertainty in the UK. I am so glad I spent time in 1985 when it was very reasonable bed and breakfast, train travel easy and for me cheap, ferry fares the same, many other countries expanded my vision as one does when you are given three months to live with Cancer).
Today I made contact with a pen collector and business owner cutting and selling my favourite Gem Opals.He wants some of my exotic Tasmanian timber, we will get together soon. Another mate who makes 10,000 dollar boxes realised he has enough timber for 30 yrs is pulling out Burl to bend your mind etc and is retiring from a few years with the Aussie Parliament house that employs 1500 people with orders for two yrs of document boxes etc, he is saving me heaps of offcuts..
So on with the motly it is, into hospital in a week for another operation then maybe stability for a while. Please take care over your way and enjoy your pens etc.
Kind regards Peter.
