    Oh drat. I'm thinking positive thoughts. TBH IMO its not what that sort of thing should be about ...not revenue collection for things that must be recorded.

    My tumble dryer door is held closed with an old vaccum cleaner and a paint mate....so far using this method has put off having a new tumble dryer for over 7 years!

    Excellent! :) I wouldn't fancy using the same technique on a washing machine full of hot water, though.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    So, you show up and they don't let you enter the UK? What happens then? Do they return you back on holiday? :eek:

    I would much rather they let me back in really. But yes, they can make me pay my own way back to my country of origin. and back again.

    I thought it was the airlines liability if you are refused entry?

    Still puzzled how you get out of a country without the right paperwork.

    I do wonder in these situations, why someone doesn't just get a similar looking relative to fedex their passport out to the stranded person.

    AIUI, silvercar, it's a visa thing, not a passport thing. Suppose you have a visa to come here to do X. Then you decide to change your circumstances so that you should now be here under a visa for doing Y. They don't like you to stay here and just start doing Y. They like you to leave and then apply (from your country of origin) for a visa to come here to do Y. When they've given you the new visa, you can come back in. If you are here for X, change your circumstances to Y (even if still also doing X), and then leave, they may or may not let you back in. Sometimes they make you go back to your country of origin to apply for your Y visa before you can re-enter the UK.

    But I'm remembering a conversation from many years ago, so don't take my word for it.

    Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.
