Are high end smartphones worth the money (to you)?
Upgrading more frequently is less of a jump than waiting many years and things have changed aka being left behind by tech. Security is stepping up fast every time I change phone -

Will my son be fined?
As long as he understands with citizenship, comes responsibility. Further to my earlier post, ... when I lived and worked in Germany, a former work colleague (who has UK/German dual citizenship) told me the story of how he obtained his German citizenship and the consequence (he was drafted into the German military immediately after obtaining his citizenship (in those days Germany had the draft). He was born and lived in the UK. His father English, his mother German. Every year his parents would go to Germany where he would spend a few weeks with this German grandparents (on his mother's side of the family). At age 18 after completing highschool he decided to go to Germany and spend time with his grandparents. He landed a job at a local shop, but he was in fact not working legally (this was before 1973 ?? when the UK joined the EU). The mayor of the German town was a friend of his grandparents, and advised them if he applied for his German citizenship, he (the mayor) would 'look the other way' (and not notice his working illegally as not being an EU nor German citizen). So he applied for his German citizenship based on his mother being German, and he could speak 'just enough' German language to pass the citizenship language test (barely). Within a couple of weeks of obtaining his German citizenship, he was drafted, and he spent a small number of years in the German military. Now - I am not saying that is a bad thing. As I noted, I volunteered to join the Canadian military at age-18, and I benefited enormously from what I learned in the military, from the experience, and from the contacts I made. But the military is not for everyone. so just because a second citizenship is possible, it does not mean it is the best approach. So I re-iterate, care is needed to understand possible consequences. With citizenship, comes responsibility. -
