Re: Can British citizens travel to the UK using a non-British passport?

All interesting. I however find it difficult to believe that Ryanair would do this, because if Ryanair did this and UK immigration refused to let a passenger in then Ryan air would have to take that passenger back to their source country free of charge. This could add up to a lot of money wasted for...

Re: Can British citizens travel to the UK using a non-British passport?

Just one very small point British or Irish can enter the UK with passports, without problems under the new rules. In practice because of the Irish - UK, freedom of movement, I would be surprised if anyone was stopped going to the ROI, crossing to NI and getting the ferry to the UK. The checking rule...

Re: Stock market investments

I did hear that WISE is not a bank, so it does not come with the 100000 loss cover that you normally get with banks, but I am not sure. WISE do offer a good rate, so its wise to use them for storing money there that you might need quick. If they do not offer the 100000 guarantee, I would say only us...

Re: Can British citizens travel to the UK using a non-British passport?

Anyone know why they are changing the rules ?

Who is it supposed to target for non entry ?

Or does it give the UK extra powers to spot any TAX thief's ?

Re: Ryanair goes totally digital. No paper bording passes.

But going to the airport without a printed boarding pass does not appeal to me. With my printed boarding pass in my pocket, I can pass thru security and go directly to the gate as I only have a small packback. Without it , what must I do? Where do I get my boading pass printed? At a check in desk? ...

if you want to watch that get the app sportxz app

in categories they have that as a live channel, so maybe you have to stay up late to see it.

you can put the app on a firestick, and watch directly on your TV.

Always use a VPN.

Not to be insulting to CC, as I like his style on here, he is never aggressive and just seems a nice person. But I also agree with what has been written above, about this. I think has got to a point in life, where things are becoming difficult, I feel it sometimes as well. I used to understand how t...

Re: Looking for a law firm that can certify a bank statement

I have tried to certify by the police, many times, sometimes it works, most times it does not, as they are longer required to this. It just depends if the police station you ask knows the rules or not or how friendly they want to be. I got my documents certified by a TAX accountant in the end, for o...

Re: KV/PV payments as a pensioner

But paying NI does not give you the benefits of the NHS. National Insurance covers you for the following National Insurance contributions count towards the benefits and pensions in the table.

In almost 50yr of cycling I never felt so fresh, but/and also unhappy, after cycling 169km 3369m 😭. Not what I wanted. Sad. Bitter. There will be better days. I admire you and your efforts as this route is very tough. I have done nearly the same route many times on motorbike and car, never thought ...

I was doing some wedding a couple of months ago.

Will summer properly resume or is he gone? Oops, this might be my fault. I have to get a new knee but since my poor Irish body struggles so much with the heat, I opted to push the date to October so that it'd be cooler when I'm in hospital and reha. Given what it has been like the last few weeks, I...
