Went in on thursday ,didnt get a ticket as nobody waiting ,i had the paperwork with me as i had read about it on here ,as i handed it over i said "new rules" he laughed and said ,"new boss" in and out in about 3 minutes ,it took longer to park and walk in , no problem whatsoever ,but then i never have had in 6 years

I went at the wrong time of day (lunchtime), due to being delayed by the floods. And so it took me about 40 minutes to get both my reporting and a single re-entry permit done, most of which I spent watching Mr Bean videos waiting for the officers to get back from lunch.

Needless to say both my tickets came up at exactly the same time on the screen.

Having asked three different Immigration staff members (including Barry Kenyon) whether I had the correct photocopies etc., and having been assured by all three that I did, I was only slightly surprised when the officer asked me to get another photocopy of yet another page of my passport from the shop next door. I think they do it deliberately, to keep people guessing.
