How’s the holiday plans going

Actually not a piss take of you lot but an update from here.

Krakow airport was busy today. My guys waited 45 mins in immigration/ documents scanning which is a long time for here.

Meanwhile I went to check the PCR process. ÂŁ64 24 hour turn around to come home but they said you had to book so that was lucky. They give you a code you enter in the website download your form & print it. Ffs no printer access atmand a mate with a printer

This was the queue of unbooked

Next step is Mrs P_F to shop around for a cheaper deal

Update 2.
I bought my phone in Dubai. I have a Polish Sim. I landed changed my Google Play account.
Just found out my phone is Geo locked to? Dubai. Each Android update resets Google Play to? Dubai. Last update? 5 days ago. You can change Google Play? Once per year.

By dint of @BTripz and then my genius, I made a new work PlayStore account on my work phone.
Go me!
Today I downloaded the EU Covid Certificate App.
Go me!
The Covid App is linked to your IKP Account - like your NHS Internet account. IKP was used to book your jabs.
IKP is linked to? Your Bank Account. Wait, WHAT?
Before getting the Jab I went to the bank to open an IKP compatible account. Got my jab.
I got my Polish ID one week after opening that account.
I opened the Covid Passport, logged in to IKP and logged in to the bank.
And EU App through me out.
Because the Bank account doesn’t have my ID Card details on it.
I call bank. My IKP compatible account is only for people with no ID card. I now need a new account.
“Can I still access IKP?”
Ummm.
No you need a new IKP Account.
But what about my Vax details?
Oh you need to do that again.

Ah.
Poland.
Off to see a mate at the Ministry on Monday “who can sort it out”

Oh, my giddy aunt. Whatever next :man_facepalming:

That will be the third that were clear - the other two third who had positive tests didn’t want to quarantine so threw their tests in the bin

I’m calling bullshit

No way have we come close to administering 600m tests let alone losing them

TBF it’s not administering tests, the article says nearly 700m tests have been distributed but only 96m had been registered.

I’m sorry but I fail to see how the T&T system can be criticised when it fails to reach 100k people if those people willfully don’t want to get contacted and wilfully give wrong details.

Also if people don’t want to do LFT there is no way you can force them to do it.

I’m afraid a lot of the failure of the T&T system is down to selfish individuals IMHO. That’s not to say that the T&T isn’t beyond reproach.

Anything that costs ÂŁ37billion should work pretty well.

Bit of an odd decision to include the Pitcairns on the green list. Not exactly handy as a holiday destination and the place has had (surprisingly enough) no confirmed COVID cases.

The fifty people that live there could be wiped out if tourists arrive!

Oh I totally agree, but when you’re also relying on Joe public to do the right thing you’ve failed before you’ve started.

I hate to say it but maybe there should be more financial incentive for people to do tests and to self isolate, if needed, and to give correct details

They can’t afford to do that and pay consultants £1000 per day. You have to draw the line somewhere.

You’re not alone there. Fam C_S have a box each - hardly used.

MrsC_S used a couple the other day when she went up to That There London to empty her desk and bring home her coffee mug as she’ll be wfh mostly going forward.

YoungAdult#1 is up to London every day to Barts but they’re not insisting she tests.

Party tonight so we have all just done a test.
