Please can I ask is the A2 milk in the chilled fridge or is it long life?

I should have printed mine off but we are just getting adapted to our increased milk consumption - 4 pints since Thursday - so I got a 6 Pinter today

I got a bit slack about monitoring our grocery bills last month but now we are three again I don't want our grocery bills to go up by 50% - errant child has regained his appetite and has started on the process of eating us out of house and home.

Mostly I will go back to doing meat casseroles with dumplings, several nights a week - minimum effort, maximum volume on the plate

I am also encouraging him to eat the peperami mountain

Also has anyone fathomed this our about Irish passports????

I've done some googling but the info is a bit patchy. Apparently if you have irish born parents or Irish born grandparents you can apply for an Irish passport so you will have dual nationality.
The idea is that when we do split from the eu you will still be able to cross borders in Europe with no issues - possibly still be able to use the e11 card (or whatever it's calling itself now)

That's all I've been able to find out so far, no idea what the costs are or the logistics.
I can figure out the dates of birth of my parents and where they were born - or at least a good guess as my dad never had a birth certificate - very long story

OHs work mate is from oz but he is naturalised now and when he goes back he has to make sure he comes and goes on the same passport. He has 2 passports

I suppose it does not help if your OH does not have Irish passports - he would have to go through passport control I suppose and you would still have to wait the other side

To me it feels a bit like Ireland lost millions through famine and the potato blight and through emigration so it wants some of us back now

I was wondering similar. I had a Polish great grandparent. Apparently Poland is very liberal about nationality so that would be enough to get a Polish passport. Only problem is that I don't even know the name of my great grandmother, she died a year or two before I was born. I'd guess she was born in the 1890s and came over here in the 1900s. Wouldn't know where to start.

Thinking about it now, about passport control and Gibraltar voted to stay in which us obvious really - thousands of Spaniards cross back and forth each day who go to work in Gibraltar - shops, caf!s, bars etc, without their labour Gibraltar would grind to a halt

So will they all have to go through passport control when we split - imagine the chaos especially in the sumner when there are also tourists going back and to.

There are special arrangements already for Spanish workers entering Gibraltar, including a tight restriction on them taking cigarettes and alcohol back and for, so I imagine they would put a system in place.
