Is anyone concerned that if we leave the EU it will make sourcing b12 from Germany harder?

Companies need to trade with who will buy from them or they would go belly up, the only problem might be a customs declaration and an additional fee.

There could also be a greater variation in exchange rate than we have become accustomed to.

Customs procedures, if applied, could add to transit time.

Yes, the customs issue is what bothers me more than anything.

I'm more worried about the pound plummeting against the Euro. We've already got the worst performance for a year, just on the fears of us leaving.

But the most worrying factor is that Brexit would result in a government run by a load of people who are on record as wanting the NHS privatised.

Here's Boris Johnson -

“If NHS services continue to be free in this way, they will continue to be abused like any free service,” he said in 2003.

“If people have to pay for them, they will value them more. Above all, there is an economic point. In a very modest way, this extension of private funds into the NHS would help the Chancellor’s straitened circumstances”.

Funny how free Johnson & Gove are with their own words.

Totally agree with you on that one. I dislike the present government, but the thought of Boris, Gove and D-Smith gives me nightmares and yes, they will destroy the NHS.

Daniel 4 verse 17 (NIV)

"'The decision is announced by messengers, the holy ones declare the verdict, so that the living may know that the Most High is sovereign over all kingdoms on earth and gives them to anyone he wishes and sets over them the lowliest of people."

Whichever way the vote goes God is in control and all things will work out according to His purpose.
