same. have been using them for all trips. but i live a 5 minute walk from a drop-box so might not suit everyone. usually get a result in ~12 hrs.

Missus did her pre-departure and Day 2 PCRs at Boots. While I've just had my Day 2 PCR with Boots. Both of us had no issues at all.

Check first if you plan using a Randox drop box. I ended up posting in the end, but the PO won't take tests and gave me a prepaid Special Delivery stamp but it took ages to get them to agree. The Drop Boxes were a minimum 2 hour round trip from me.
Yeah I’ve checked and we can pretty much go past one on the way back from the airport and can make the last collection of the day all being well.
Don’t suppose anyone knows if Denmark are likely to shut their borders within the next couple of weeks do they?

I know they’ve reintroduced masks etc in shops from today… they do tend to err on the side of caution but I don’t expect them to shut down their borders again.

Apologies, should've clarified, pre-departure was in store. Day 2s were sent to us in the post and returned to them via one of those Royal Mail "Priority Mail" postboxes.

Do you only need pre-departure if you haven't been fully vaxxed?
Depends on which country. Portugal from Dec 1 need pre departure even if you’ve had the clot shot.

Going Mexico in the new year, any recommendations for places to visit/drink/eat/stay?
Will be in that Yucatan pocket of places

pcr pre-departure? you'll need to go visit somewhere in person now… can't guarantee you'll get an "at home" kit arrive in time

Yeah we’re heading to Holbox, looks ideal.
Hoping we’ll have time for Mexico City as it looks like it’d be fun.
Flying to cancun and stopping by Tulum, Holbox, playa del carmen to name a few

I see Labour pushing for even MORE testing…pre departure plus a day 8 too.
Gotta love this controlled opposition.
We’ve free-fallen into a bio-security surveillance state in 18 months.

Fucks sake can anyone help me. Not had corona and fully boostered up so not really sure about it all. PCR is the one you take and send to a lab for result? Lateral flow you take and it gives you the result instantly? It says now for coming into the UK you need one of these prior to entry. I’m assuming the LF one is much easier?

LF is the instant (30 mins) one.
