I was not aware the share codes last that long now, the last time I used one (for work, although this was several years ago) it was only valid for 4 days and my employer refused to accept it which was a whole thing. I was under the (incorrect) impression that the system for border clearance would be worse than that. So I have changed my mind on this point despite your flippant comment, which was argumentative for no reason.

On the case of trusting the UK government to manage the immigration status digitally for people I still have my doubts. They don’t have the best track record.

I have my own UK passport now so I am a bit out of the loop but any sort of system where a person doesn’t have offline proof of their status that they can keep seems like it is open to issues (although physical only also has its issues so there are pros and cons no matter how you approach it).

Ha! I am from the south but haven’t lived in the US since 2009…. I do still go to waffle house when I go visit my family though 😅

It’s the A1 on the hashbrowns that draws me back.

I don’t quite understand why you are dismissing this person’s concerns like this. The codes are available for a very short period so there is a chance that if there is a WiFi or other network outage they genuinely could not get to the code.

It’s also not as though the UK has the best record when it comes to managing immigrants despite their promises.

You are welcome to do a quick google on what happened to Windrush immigrants, the trouble that EU immigrants have had post-brexit, and UKVI’s general rules, wait times, and fees. Much like the US, the UK’s immigration policy has been made highly hostile to many forms of immigration, limiting options for families and managing to bungle things at several junctures.

I agree that it is hard to put faith in a system like this where your immigration status relies on the availability of a network or even a single government site with no physical or offline backups.

I’ve seen a huddle house before but never been in one… never seen a waffle king though :D

Imitation waffle house…?

Man I use mine all the time, I have just dance, fitness boxing and ring fit adventure.

So much easier to get up and do some sort of physical activity when it’s a game not a task.

*mario kart is the game that sits on the shelf gathering dust until the nieces come over.

Oyster crackers is a pretty good shout actually

Can’t argue there, but I do recommend a train ticket app for e-tickets

Why would you get a ticket for the tube/bus/overground? You can now pay with any contactless card or apple/android pay.

My tiny gripe…

On iOS, I have set a couple weekly to-do items (recurring) that all have sub-tasks….

Except there isn’t a way to just see the subtasks? I have to click into the reminder, scroll down to subtasks and click into that.

What the heck?!?

The whole settlement scheme has been a disaster. uKVI has historically been a truly terrible organisation. I personally have been given false information from them on more than one occasion so this doesn’t surprise me in the slightest.

Why is extraordinarily ridiculous though, is why someone from the EU that already had permanent residency wouldn’t just have that acknowledged or have automatically moved onto the new scheme. UKVI will already have her details on file electronically with biometric enrolment data.

Anything to make peoples lives miserable, in yet another clear implementation of government policy. The cruelty is the point.

Pretty sure the Cuban population tends to vote republican because of the press about democrats being socialist wannabes or whatever.

Didn’t Obama loosen restrictions on Cuba and the Trump put it back to how it was before?

Somehow my husband always knows, doesn’t matter how long the oven timer is set, he is forever standing up from the couch just before the timer goes off

What kind of crazy voodoo is this?!
