Expert Medicals were about the cheapest and I gave up trying to find cheaper when others keep adding higher postage costs on. Expert medical add about £7.99 to that for 'delivery' so around 35 ish
Leaving france is easiest to use a French pharmacy at around 26 euro, that's my preference.

3. Why??? - Only £29 notes Ken and easier than leaving the lake closest place is 30 minutes away and 49 euro's
4. From whom? I went with Boots obviously you can get it a bit cheaper but know a few that have used them now all good I know of one angler that bought a cheaper kit and it never turned up left him chasing them so he bought another from elsewhere in the end turned up the next day the first one he ordered turned up 2 days after he left, obviously you need to enter the test code on the PLF.

Question was, why do you need to take an antigen test kit away with you in the first place...?

I think to gov website is referring to the free NHS tests:-
"NHS tests
NHS tests cannot be used for the purpose of pre-departure testing before travel to England.
You cannot take an NHS test abroad with you to use on yourself before you return."
I might have missed it but I cant see anywhere is says you cant buy the test in Uk to take with you? Just says it needs to be an antigen test or PCR test?

See, that makes even less sense, but that is not surprising with this lot in power (left hand/right hand; which is doing what to whom).
From the kits I have seen, the NHS self-test kit is more or less identical to the 'private' ones.
Me and the missus self-test every other day and submit our results to the NHS. They in turn send me a confirmation email saying that I am Covid-free...so why can't I use a sheaf of printed emails to prove I am free of the virus. I could even perform a self test in front of the border forces...the result comes back in less than 30 minutes.
I fully accept that control is needed via the tests, but FFS make the 'rules' more user-friendly and understandable.

That would be easier Ken but with the Government we have they have said we cannot use the free NHS testing kits and it must be a private company kit, Randox have made something like 100 million all throughout the pandemic probably a backroom handshake somewhere along the line an associates wife cousins uncle.
This is the one I've ordered But there 2 day test is a bit pricey so went with Boots for that at £75.00 plus eases the doubt that your not going to get shafted as |I've heard and read a few stories regarding test not turning up etc...
LINKY POO

Just a bit of info re day 2 tests.
We ordered 2 to be delivered at home.
They where packed in one bag and would not fit through the letterbox we where still in Holland at the time as got caught by France going to amber plus.
Luckily the next door neighbour took them in.
And shop around as prices vary .
They are coming down as well.
Unfortunately what ever we think about the rules they are the rules.
The wife saw somebody reffuced entry to the tunnel as they did not have a paid for PCR test when leaving the uk
One positive nobody has checked the car rescently whereas we used to get checked nearly every time.

The rules are clear and as mentioned below do say you can't use the nhs tests...... Couple of easy reasons being so the nhs does not subsidise peoples holidays and also that the tests need some proof of who took them and when etc.
At one point, France did state that home tests were not acceptable for entry to france. Makes sense as there is no real confirmation of who actually did the test unless it is monitored / taken in a controlled environment.

I've just returned from holiday (not france), I ordered my day 2 test from a company called randox. If you go on airline websites they have normally partnered up with these companies and you can get a discount, at no point did I have to enter my flight details, the discount codes are on the airlines webpages
In paid 43 quid for day two tests with the discount code

Can someone spell it out in black and white, exactly what needs to be done to go on my fishing trip to France ? (Early October). TIA
