Indeed ... Bob Geldof was all ready to organise a concert to help us if I remember correctly.

I get away with eating a whole one 'cos I take Charlie (my four year old) and share it with him... he gets half a sausage, half a slice of toast, a few chips, a few beans and half a bit of bacon, and I get the rest!!!

LucyK! · 12 Jun 2007, 12:39

And would you stop talking about time and money, otherwise we're gonna end up in Amsterdam!

*AndyK* · 12 Jun 2007, 12:41

There are no longer any frontier controls at the borders between 13 EU countries. This is thanks to the Schengen agreement which is part of EU law. The Schengen rules remove all internal border controls but put in place effective controls at the external borders of the EU and introduce a common visa policy. The full Schengen members are Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden (but not Ireland and the United Kingdom) plus Iceland and Norway (which are not EU members).

The 12 countries that have joined the EU since 2004 do not yet fully participate in Schengen. You will therefore need a valid passport or ID card to travel to those countries and to Ireland and the United Kingdom.

So, us Uk'ers need passports.

LucyK! · 12 Jun 2007, 13:03

So is a full UK driver's license a Valid ID?

**RadioMaster** · 12 Jun 2007, 13:05

slightly different thing.
Schengen is about controls at all. If youre going from Germany to Austria, you dont have to stop at the border for controls.
But for flights between ALL EU states, you just need a simple ID card that'll be controlled. No passport at all.

*AndyK* · 12 Jun 2007, 13:05

No 'friad not. But it's irrelevant as you can't leave the UK without a valid passport, regardless of destination as the UK hasn't signed up to Schengen, unless you're hiding in the back of a lorry going through the tunnel

**RadioMaster** · 12 Jun 2007, 13:07

so, you say, without passport, everybody gets to the UK, but nobody away from the UK? cool

LucyK! · 12 Jun 2007, 13:07

So it's no? Don't make me read all that again because I don't get it!

I'm only small, I reckon I could fit in a lorry...or we could swim from where I live!

Yes it's a no, UK Citizens require a passport to travel anywhere except with the UK, Isle Of Man, Ireland and Channel Islands, for travel to those destinations a valid photo driving license is an acceptable form of ID for boardnig a flight.

... and what's this "we" could swim?

LucyK! · 12 Jun 2007, 13:10

Yeah - that's the kind of crap I do and it's fun!

Some of the best times you can ever have are done on a whim. Would be there myself in a heartbeat if there was any way.
