monasqueen Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Lockdown changed things for a lot of people who had normal lives and normal pets. Pets got used to their keepers being in all day and available, and separation then became intolerable. In many cases, having a pet at home while people were in lockdown was all that kept the human sane. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Wright Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 I’m no longer sure why the IoM authorities are bothering with the landing card and LFT within 12 hours of arrival ( if you’ve been outside CTA ). Last 7 weeks I’ve crossed multiple borders, had PCR’s and LFT’s. Had my passport stamped. Filled in multiple passenger locator forms. Douglas, this evening, coming off the Ben, passenger in car ahead of me got out and jumped the fence. Didn’t produce his landing card or photo ID. So much for covid security at the IoM border. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UK is scrapping LFDs to enter the UK from outside the CTA from 11/2. I would imagine the island will follow suit. The UK is still keeping the requirement to complete a landing/locator form. The island will probably keep the same rule, but these rules are likely to be ditched before May. I can picture the delays and queues of bikes, vans and vehicles of passengers waiting to hand in their forms and proof of identification, going through 2 checkpoints, chaos will ensue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
