This just made me laugh when a friend shared it:-

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

Regarding the expired passport topic:- Dual nationals could use expired UK passports to prove they are British, Home Office says I've said it before and I'll keep saying it, I am British and not having a British passport doesn't change that. From the article:- Morgan Read, an immigration barrister a...

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

The single easiest solution from the UK side would be to let us have an ESTA and travel on our EU passports. I mean if my German sister-in-law can visit the UK for a two week holiday on a German passport + ESTA, how on earth could it be problematic for me to do the same?

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

This in the Guardian looks interesting:- Ryanair may let dual nationals board UK flights with an expired British passport That should be enough for me to get in, but I'm sure there are plenty of people who never had a UK passport but are dual-nationality citizens and they still have a challenge ahea...

Re: What are you listening to right now?

4 years ago today was the last day I spent with Bettina.
That night I sat up reading to her whilst Rumours played in the background. She was too out of it to know what was going on, but it helped me.

This seems to fill my mind on 14th Feb now.

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

It doesn't really add much, the uk government quote was:- From 25 February 2026, all dual British citizens will need to present either a valid British passport or certificate of entitlement to avoid delays at the border "Avoid delays at the border" is very much not the same as "denied...

Re: Going back the UK?

Online travel agents like booking.com will find a flight/hotel combo to Cleethorpes from Germany (I just checked), if you want to have more hand-holding than that, or you want to fly from somewhere else than Germany, you will need to go to a local agent, and thats going to very much depend on where ...

Re: Scrounging up clients among English-speakers moving or moved to DE?

Least obnoxious and most helpful to the board would be to add a signature to your posts with a link to how people can contact you. Then participate actively in the group and make sure you help out anyone posting related questions. You must have seen others do similar in the other place and some stil...

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

Totally agree with you there, it's not going to speed up anything at the gate, it just gives them another avenue to sell you upgrades and gather metrics and data from you. Many, many, people struggle with using their phones, people get flustered, screen-savers kick in etc. With a paper boarding card...

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

DB != Ryanair. The point I was making was that sice this is a thread about Ryanair and they have said that everyone needs to use the app, so if the app is down it's a Ryanair problem. Other apps/other services require other backup plans. I never get on a train without a paper copy, just because thei...
