Gerontious Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 The Government has put some advice up on the travel website, about how to behave so you can avoid quarantine, if you need to pass through a country that is now 'closed'Like Austria, Belgium, France and Luxembourg. its very simple. clear and concise. but, its incredible the numbers of people who can on the one hand, manage to manipulate a mobile phone or a computer. Can write in a legible manner. even spell "necessary" correctly, or know the proper usage of "There, Their and They're" and yet are completely baffled by this: They should all get this award.
