Re: Launch of Artemis II
Is it all about mining? "An outpost for deep space exporation". I thought the unmanned ones were doing a fantastic job. I get that it is all very very clever but I am giving a special Easter "bah humbug" to this.

Re: Brexit Residence Permit Renewal
I have been wondering/worrying about this issue too. My initial understanding was I should have got a permanent AU. Other people seemed to. But mine runs out next year, when my UK passport does. Am in BW.

Re: Can British citizens travel to the UK using a non-British passport?
Someone gave details about this. Something along the lines that it was easy early on to complete the ETA application and avoid mentiontiong you were a dual UK citizen as it was not provided as an option in the drop down list of nationalities to choose from. So you did not have to lie. But this has n...

Re: What got you flummoxed today?
Flumoxxed by people being blase about having right of way at junctions. Yes, right before left. We all know that (I hope!) But the sheer stupidity of not doing a quick glance all round. I was walking towards a junction today. I could hear screaming sirens very close by. I could also see an lovely ol...

Re: Can British citizens travel to the UK using a non-British passport?
You are fine if you are dual Irish/British, it is the only exception where you do not have to have to use a British passport to visit UK. Any other dual British/something else needs to have and use a British passport to enter UK now. Noo rools innit.

Re: Can British citizens travel to the UK using a non-British passport?
meant to add this quote, sorry. "Dual citizen holders If you’re a dual citizen with British or Irish citizenship, you cannot apply for an ETA when you travel to the UK. Instead, you’ll need to prove your citizenship using: A valid British passport. A valid Irish passport. Another valid passport...

She had her British birth certificate with her, did not help. Does the British birth certificate automatically indicate the person's citizenship? My US birth certificate alone is evidence of citizenship, since I was born in the US. This is not the case for my husband, a naturalized citizen who was ...

I used to travel with an ancient copy of one. They are quite easy to get. Though of course not overnight.

Re: Can British citizens travel to the UK using a non-British passport?
Were the kids born in the UK? If so, a birth cert will probably work for now. At least it would if you were dealing with Immigration at a UK border. Problem being it is an airliner or similar making the decision, and it can cost them if they make a mistake. Longer term, yes, they need to British pas...

Re: What got you flummoxed today?
But that is even weirder, like the small padded yellow ones? I bought some last week. They also have corrugated cardboards not yellow ones. Anyway, hope whatever you used works.

Re: Blocking of address retrieval
It is not a central database anyone can look at, as data is only stored locally? So generally need to know your full name, birthdate, and where you are or were last registered, not just city, but actual office. And they have to identify themselves? I guess like in other countries there maybe commerc...
