Armed with the knowledge of the lsales time laws why do you not adjust your shopping time if you need a bottle of red ?
3 to 5pm no sales is hardly a new thing !
My private insurance is next to useless.... it covers my 6 weekly doc visit and meds and part of bed (private room) costs if iam admitted... but naff all else, gotta love pre-existing conditions !
Luckily I have SS which covers most everything else.
I got a job then with the required documents went to the embassy in my home country and obtained a single entry Non B, from memory it took a few days for the visa to be processed.
