Left Back Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 26 minutes ago, Ross. said: Yeah, the ID cards thing was last year IIRC. Doesn’t affect me as I still only have a UK passport, but my missus was annoyed as it meant she had to start taking her passport with her when we go back. On that note, I need to see if I can make an appointment with the passport office for my next trip home, need to get the boy sorted with his second passport. I know someone that was looking at appointments recently for the one in Glasgow. He said he was quoted 10 week lead time for an appointment. Disclaimer. No idea if true or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d have thought if that’s the road they want to go down then they need to work out how to get that messaging across without the need for masks etc. Keeping masks to “send a warning” is an admission that nobody’s really listening to these gobshites anymore. Another one whose predictions should be fired straight into the sun. She was demanding full lockdown at Christmas, saying that hospitals would be overwhelmed otherwise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s also flawed logic, because if things are so bad that we need to keep masks as a reminder, we don’t actually need anything as a reminder. And if being a reminder is the only reason for keeping them, get them binned now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I renewed I called a few days before I was due home and it was pretty much free reign of the appointments. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For info I just did my PLF to come home Wednesday and it does explicitly state boosters aren’t a requirement for inbound travel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

German Jag Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 4 hours ago, welshbairn said: Probably won't affect you but the UK has stopped accepting EU or Swiss ID cards instead of passports. It's really dumb, they're just as secure now and only about half of Europeans bother getting a passport. How to help tourism and hospitality recover from Covid.. This. After receiving German citizenship in December 2019, I applied for and received my 'Personalausweis' / ID Card. When I collected the ID card I then applied for a German passport. The person who handed me my ID card asked if I wanted the same details and photo to be utilised for the passport application, said yes, and all that was needed was another signature. ID cards being less secure is a Pritti Patel myth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dons_1988 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 I don’t believe they’ll shit the bed. I think it’s more likely that they’ll be trying to ramp up the shaming of people who choose not to wear masks. They’ll call it a social responsibility and the sensible, safe thing to do if we care about each other blah blah blah. I reserve the right to have a heads gone later though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch Stanton Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 I was at the King's Theatre last night to see Stewart Lee. Earlier in the day I received an email from Ambassador Theatre Grouo reminding me that masks had to be worn the entire time I was indoors (bar the usual exceptions). Presumably the 1000+ other people who were there got the same email. I was in the stalls so can't speak for the 3 circles but happy to report that you could count the number of mask wearers on the fingers of one hand. People have had enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
