On the outside looking in. I do like to be beside the seaside. Pasta & plants. Food. And Naples stuff. ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง

So far this week iโ€™ve eaten out of date:
Ready meal
Pate
Cooked chicken breast
Trifle

Takeaway curry, takeaway pizza

Awful. No wonder I am bloated and tired - though still alive!

The boxes of chips, the shortbread, the cashew nut tins, iberico jamon, chicken livers (I struggle to find these in other shops), picanha steak, the breaded prawns (unless this might just be a xmas thing), the deli prawns w blush tomatoes, the streaky bacon is ace.

An out of date chicken ready meal rescued from my mumโ€™s fridge ๐Ÿ˜ฌ Resisting booze as need to get healthy. I like the sound of excellent mango! ๐Ÿฅญ

Blueberries and apricots (weird, dry, furry things).

Iโ€™m angry too. It looks like a fucking hippy squat in Brighton.

No but how does it know your parent is? I.e. you turn up with Mongolian passport, they say โ€œyouโ€™re not coming in cos Britishโ€ - how do they know?!

The kids thing is nuts. Just let them travel on their parents passport. I did as a kid once I think - wonder when that changed? Also, how does the system *know* you are a UK citizen?!

21.02.2026 08:17 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

The stupid bit is making kids have to have a UK passport instead of just travelling with a UK parent and that being sufficient.

They say they advertised it in 2024 but who would think โ€œoh I better just check in case they randomly decided to change the rulesโ€ ๐Ÿ™„

I was just asking what peopleโ€™s reasons were. I donโ€™t *need* two but couldnโ€™t wait to get my second because it was important to me.

Iโ€™m not looking forward to etias rules. Apparently iโ€™m not allowed to get one but airlines make travelling w dual passports v difficult ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

So long since i went to Oz - you need one even for a short holiday? So many different rules! Main thing is iโ€™m glad never lived to see Brexit.

20.02.2026 20:51 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 2    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

See i think Italy has this rule but how do they know?! I was travelling for years before I knew I could get an Italian passport ๐Ÿ˜‚

โ€ฆjust canโ€™t get why you wouldnโ€™t have both.

Italy didnโ€™t used to but you can now. All the stories in the press iโ€™ve seen are from Brits just whining that they didnโ€™t bother renewing their UK passport so I have little sympathy. Issues like you point out are obvs a different matter. As a dual, I was just so proud to get the 2nd passport I cont.

20.02.2026 20:46 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

But you can get in without an Oz passport?

No plans to revisit?

Dual national Brits complaining about the new passport rulesโ€ฆ what was the reason you didnโ€™t bother renewing/ getting a UK passport? I have two because it seems appropriate to have a passport for each country iโ€™m a citizen of.

Apparently when you have dementia you lose all interest in friends and socialising. I think I have dementia.

Jesus Christ, how utterly unconvincing is that Marlon twat in Emmerdale? Like a saggy pair of pants that someone has wet themselves in.
