Event cancellation - Covid no longer covered
Really annoyed with Ticket Seller seetickets.com who sold me tickets for The Enchanted Forest in Pitlochry. Was taking grandson today but he tested positive for Covid yesterday so no intention of going and spreading it around (especially as would have involved 2 hour bus journey each way). Had taken out refund protection…

Booster refused because of incorrect entry on vaccination record
I’ve already commented about this under the “Booster Offered “ thread, but my experience might help others so I’m posting a new thread with a more descriptive title. I went to a walk-in centre for my autumn Covid booster but was refused because my vaccination record said that I had already had it! When I looked at the NHS…

When should I test?
I have been in the company of people who have tested positive for covid. When would be the best time to do my first test? If it's negative, do I continue to test daily and how long for? I really don't want to pass it onto the rest of my household who are having their boosters this week.

Hi all I’m after advice for a friend. He booked to go onto a kind of ‘personal improvement’ type course last year, with the course due to go ahead in Birmingham at the end of May (2020).

FFP2 Masks DIY vs Pharmacy
Apart from the rip off price difference - is there any difference in these 2 face masks? Flying to Italy who require masks which comply to FFP2 standards - but only once you actually land in Italy! And only on the bus from the airport to the hotel. https://www.screwfix.com/p/disposable-half-masks-p2-5-pack/682kh (99p for…

Changing tax code back after claiming wfh relief
I was required to work from home in the tax year 21/22, so I claimed the working-from-home tax relief. In Aug '21 my tax code was 1275L and in Sept '21 it changed to 1288L, which I presume was HMRC applying the tax relief. My payslips have all shown 1288L since then. I am not eligible for the tax relief in the 22/23 tax…

Long Covid and Work
Just after a bit of advice really. Ended up getting covid last year. Was really poorly for quite some time. First time I had off from work in all my working life so it felt strange and a bit of guilt crept in as when others have been off, the caseload drops onto the others in the team. GP kept giving me sick notes and told…

Test and Trace
I’ve just had a text message from TraceAlerts telling me I’ve been in close contact with someone who’s got Omnicrom and to get a PCR test. Is this a scam as I thought test and trace had ended? Thanks.
