monasqueen Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 4 minutes ago, Banker said: We do qualify as for these purposes we are classed as UK same as for travel. MSC cruises are continuing to operate cruises out of Italy but they are only for Schenghen countries & UK residents banned Like a lot of other companies, P&O probably don't know that there are British areas that are not in the UK. Some companies do know the difference, and IOM residents are excluded from the offerings of many of them. P&O do not help. As I said, if you take them literally, we are excluded. From their website Q&A section: "I am not a resident of the UK can I book one of these cruises? UK getaway cruises are only open to UK residents."

There's roughly a 10% chance that you'll get a minor reaction. My brother and I had our jabs within a day of eachother and after 24 hours we both had a couple of days of what you might call 'covid lite'. It's not that big of a deal and certainly no reason not to have the jab. We're both classified as 'extremely clinically vulnerable'. The 5G chip is barely noticeable by the way... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Border restrictions and 'covid-passports' allowing). woohoo, pot of tea for 1 with 2 cups and 1 teacake with 2 plates please all followed by any discount for pensioners ( even though they have had longer than the rest of us to save up for it ) the cafes will be coining it in 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or time to allow the manufacturers of the vials to play catch up? I don't think it's political or much to do with the clotting issue either, may be even an opportunity to tweak the formula in it's next lot of batches.
