Along_the_Wire BA advise you to take your passport even for domestic flights. I never bother and have never been asked.

It wouldn’t surprise me if it starts being a requirement due to automatic biometric gatelines.

It’s the one national biometric document everyone has (or will have), effectively an alternative to a National ID card that many countries have.

    bosstrabs I don’t think your missus, Ting-Ting Cyril, is Chinese is she?

    She was post-marked Taiwan when she arrived

      Amps The Audi was replaced with a VW some years back

      Solar powered?

          Mad_Cyril No, but much better mileage than the Audi, and the next one, probably next year, will defo be an EV.

            Practice what you preach then brother

              Next time there’s an Easterly wind I’m going to spend all day flying to Liverpool and back

                  If it helps Amps, the flight cancelled and I’m in a cab back to London.

                  You do know the carbon outputs of driving solo versus flying a busy plane per mile, don’t you? At least I offset the stuff

                    Mad_Cyril Terrible choice, John Lennon Airport is a disgrace. Barely functioning for the most part. S to the werve. On the other hand, if you want to stick to the M62, Leeds is decent.

                      I do. No easy answers. Also, offsetting is as much a myth as plastic recycling.

                      Apologies, in an utterly obtuse mood. Struggling with Ableton. Tormented by the intermittent fasting and Christmas chocolates. Fantasising all day about guillotining Tories and their pay masters. Early night for me.
