France and Spain on the UK Green list by the end of June (1 Viewer)

[busby]

I agree 100% with Busby, we also went to france last year when the advice was not to go, aires and sites were empty, the few people we saw were very respectful of social distancing etc, we had a wonderful time, as i understand it france is on the amber list at the moment, i would prefer green, but amber will do.
I thought you could enter france now, as in they dropped the "compelling" reason to go??

I have a very compelling reason to go,,I need sunshine,,

We can go to france after the 17th may, but two pcr tests are required and self isolation for 7 days at the moment, pcr tests aren't much of a problem but 7 days isolation is, my guess is that will change after the 17th.

Sorted then,,ferry to The Falkland Isles for a month..BUSBY.

South Georgia for me, south sounds sunny.

Isn't that why most of us go?

 

[gus-lopez]

especially as they are supposed to have a negative test before travelling to England,

Did you see the report from the day2 & 8 laboratories stating that of the 20,000 enetering the country every day 2,6 % of those negatively tested came back as positive.?

his should also apply to footballers going to Turkey for the Champions League final, they should not be allowed to go (or come back)

They shouldn't be allowed to return without the hotel confinement I agree.
Can't see the match being played elsewhere unless fifa sanction it?

If it was up to me the red list should be no entry to the country at all

UEFA sanctioned some of the earlier qualifying rounds to be played at neutral grounds because of covid restrictions (I think it was English v German teams) so there should be no problem with the final, especially as UEFA want fans to attend, like they do for the Euros this year, one game that has already moved from Dublin to Wembley because of that reason

Yes ,just like the Aussies, citizens & cricket players as well.

9th of June as long as data says yes . I think I posted the latest update on another thread

Talking about Wembley,,,BUSBY.

That would make a lot more sense, especially as they can't have fans anyway.

Apparently Tokyo's available.

A letter was mentioned for situations like yours, from your Doctor

probably more expensive than a cheap smart phone

Perhaps the person I was replying to didnt want to be a lemming and own a smart phone.

20000 allowed for FA Cup final on May 17 so if they did all agree to put Champions League final on at Wembley I guess some crowd would be allowed.
My money is on Porto for the final

 

[gus-lopez]

Porto for the final

[ceejayt]

I think that it is work in progress and will be an update of the App when it is ready

To be available by May 17th

It's not being a lemming though is it...A smart phone does away with the need for guide books,site books,a lap top, a radio, a pedometer, a Sat nav ,sattelite dish,etc etc..It's better than a Swiss Army Knife and I am a bit if a Luddite.BUSBY.

 

[Coolcats]

You can get a decent smart phone for about 100 quid..BUSBY,

A new IPhone SE is £399 I’m sure you could get one cheaper from one of the 2nd hand stores one thing often overlooked about apple products is that you get updates for at least 5 years some of the cheaper ones it’s only 2 years from launch date (Which picked up on this when they review phones) so that £100 one may not be that cheap in the long run. But each to their own I guess

Always had a yen for Japan ... Just need several thousand more to afford the holiday ...

My claim to fame [this IS true, honestly!], is organising a 7 hour minibus tour from Yokohama for English, Australian, Kiwi & American passengers with a Japanese Taxi Company, whose drivers spoke no English! It was a great success, albeit a little unnerving as I sat in the passenger seat alongside the driver, each of us tapping furiously away at Google Translate, whilst the driver was also driving ...

The Benny Hill Japanese character had a catchphrase 'Ahso, the audience is crapping', but in my case, there was no play on words; I damn nearly was crapping myself ...

I have a smart phone. I still take and use all of the above also.

That's the Donkey Sanctuary we go to. Apart from loving the donkeys, the cafe there is great! A real bonus is the free parking and entry.

I couldnt agree more. Perhaps my response was somewhat aimed at a previous post within the thread

Me too!

 

[EuroTrotters]

With France not being on the green list it is going to be a fight for sky high prices on the biscay crossings.

A lot of Spanish crossings are full. I would have thought BF may have put on more sailings?.

Not sure how it all works, plans, schedules, timetables.

I’ve just read BF Are trying to increase Spanish crossings

How is this vaccinated Brits to work?

I don't think the French will let me in based on the scrap of cardboard received when getting jabbed.

Go on the NHS app. NOT the covid one !!
You can then log in and access your vaccinations data...
And show whoever wants to know.
Seeemples.

Confirmed this morning on LBC by a certain member of cabinet that France will not be on the Green list anytime soon. Oh and the caveat to having 2 jabs and going to an amber list country will be that you have to get tested every day up to the 10 day quarantine period. So no quarantine but 10 days of lateral flow tests. I'm so glad they are making it easy for all of us to travel

LFT is easy. We have so many cases in school now I am doing mine daily as a precaution.

 

[jongood]

I'm absolutely not complaining because we knew and accepted the rules . But cant help finding it ironic that if we were to return to the UK right now we would be having tests and quarantining whilst coming from a statistically safer country (Spain)

Only in England
NHS Wales doesn’t offer an equivalent so if we want to travel - which we hope to at the end of August - we have to apply by email for a Certificate to travel which will then be posted to us.
