Hedgecutter Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Guess it depends what's in the T&Cs of the course offered by the company. Delegates must present photographic ID at the start of the course. Accepted forms of ID are government issued photographic identification e.g. Passport, Driving Licence 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Aberdeen based course has fcuk all to do with travel but the admin person was saying "I'm entitled to refuse that and send you home" even though I'm presenting a passport which hasn't passed it's given expiry date. Is she entitled to refuse this or would it have been kick in the pie time had she done so? Sounds like some fuckwit has been watching some travel programme and thinks they are a border guard,kick the f**k out of the pie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your passport, while having less than 6 months to go, is in date, and therefore valid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Got a second course with same company on Thursday. Might borrow some steel toecaps for then. Seriously considering printing out their T&Cs / registration notes to ram down their throats if the other one tries this and doesn't budge. Bound to be some legal threat to throw at them in such a case. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine runs out next year and I'm going to apply for my renewal as soon as possible, they add up to nine months on expiry if you apply early. Also I think a member of the EU passport will get less scrutiny after Brexit by lazy EU border control. There's talk about switching back to the dark blue one. https://www.theguardian.com/money/2010/sep/04/uk-passport-renewal-cost 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be asking her where she got that information from and to speak to her supervisor in front of her. Then I'd be taking a 10 yard run up and delivering a swift volley to the peh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 I got ID'd in a pub once and she said she shouldn't be serving me because my passport was out of date. I'm not trying to leave the country. It doesn't invalidate my proof of my date of birth. In this case it doesn't mean you aren't you, and assuming it's not the secret service you were on a course for it's nonsense that it would make a difference. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Unless the training course involved an unexpected trip outside the UK, she was talking out of her arse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure in the comics, there was a huge age gap between Uncle Ben and Peter's dad, in which case it would make sense for Ben's wife to be older too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know I am beginning to think there are real flaws in the whole story. For a start, I can't believe that being bitten by a radioactive spider is suddenly going to give you superhuman powers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I'm getting a parcel from Manchester, delivered from UPS. It was checked in at Dundee at half 8 this morning yet isn't due to reach me until Thursday night. Is that normal? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd be as well just asking if you can pick it up from the depot there (in the industrial estate beside Myrekirk Asda) which is what I eventually did. Online reviews for UPS are not kind.
