I like travelling.
I might move to the Algarve.
I'll probably need it to get in.

I have a friend on Islay who last autumn had to travel to Liverpool for a family funeral. Before he left Islay he registered for Test and Trace scheme. However when he stopped at motorway service station on the M6 in England for a meal the Scottish Government Test and Trace scheme did not work in England. Apparently the English Test and Trace scheme does not work in Scotland.
In my opinion the civil servants from England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland should have got together and ensured that the Test and Trace scheme worked throughout the whole of the U.K. and not the current shambles of only working in the country that it is registered in
My friend had to return to the old fashioned method. Writing down his contact details of a piece of paper and handing them to the manager of the motorway service station restaurant.
So much for progress in the 21st century.
That's what I mean, GP experience seems far better.
No yellow jackets, no stair pointers, no you must wipe Doon seat after using it, no put the phone away, no stand there and no a feeling of you have just walked onto the set of schindlers list...... I expect alsations and barbed wire next time.😁
The UK government reported on 23 December that it had identified 2 cases of the South African variant in the UK. At the same time, the Kent variant was spreading rapidly around the south-east of England, so that includes Kent, where thousands of truckers were trying to cross the channel.
Do you want to try again?
The Scottish government quite rightly chose not to trust Serco with Test and Trace in Scotland, this was a private company with no experience whatsoever in the field. The Scottish government instead chose to enhance the NHS track and trace already in place. This was a common sense decision. Add to that the Serco app didn't work, it was an easy choice to make.
