Yes, but that's George 'Useless' Eustace. A well known candidate for Dawn Butler. Known in these parts as Jack of No Trades and Master or Even Fewer.

The Border are no longer required to check for 2&8 Testing bookings on return, unless you put down an exemption.
Make of that what you will.

Correct me if I'm wrong but you need to put the relevant code supplied when you purchase your day2&8 test on the passenger locator form. Without it you can't send the form.

I returned yesterday and correct that you have to fill in the test references on the locator form. I travelled on eurotunnel and the form had to be uploaded along with the negative French test result before travelling.
Made it seamless coming back, French customs confirmed with me that I was double jabbed and everything else was as normal. Into the port and through the checks in about 20 mins total including the small queue of other passengers.
Already been phoned this morning by an advisor confirming my understanding of the testing and isolation rules etc.

I didn't get checked for anything on the way out, friend in another car got the drugs / explosives swab and that was it, normal practice

In actual fact they are saying that France could return to amber, from a category nobody knew even existed, the so-called 'Amber Plus' level. As far as I know, France is the only country currently in the Amber + category.
And you think this lot know what they are doing............!

No problems for me at the boarder crossing on Saturday
Got pulled aside for the usual drugs check but wasn't asked for my forms nor for evidence of vaccination status
Test booked for this coming Thursday at a local chemist for my return trip
Fingers crossed the quarantine rules are changed as I'm due back

There are many reasons you might not answer the phone, not least of which would be going out to post your day 2 or day 8 test. That's before you get into mowing the lawn or having a shower etc.
All of which are quite legitimate.
