On a similar note, I’ve just ordered a lease car for my wife. I haven’t had any loans, mortgages or any form of credit since 2012. As a result they asked security questions about a loan from 1998 & another from 2007, which I had no clue. My driving license was issued in 1979. They used the signature from that for my ID then told me that they’d refused the finance agreement because the signature I used (40 years later) does not match. In the end I had to forge my own signature to get it approved. It’s taken 6 weeks to get it approved.

All this online stuff is causing much anxiety Paul. Just reading this tread proves all the different views and endorsements. IT geeks find it so easy, others struggle. But i am also of the opinion that many with good IT skills are also stumbling with it, me and you included. I eventually got it sorted over the phone and we did my daughters at the same time, the mrs later tried online and gave up and eventually got through on the phone. I really feel for people who do not have phones and or IT knowledge.

I don't know why we are flapping. Lose the next couple of games and the attendance figure will be below the covid pass threshold anyway.

I've been jabbed and I went through the tortuous process to get the digital certificate. My wife isn't so she just orders some lateral flow tests, took the code from one of them and recorded it as negative and got an email confirmation of it.

I tried that number from my landline (Virgin) and all I get is "This srvice is not compatible with this call"

I can't use the "smart" route as I don't have a valid photo ID.I tried the 119 service and after going round in circles with their options, finally spoke to someone who directed me to the same bloody number!

Landline suddenly started working. I'm now in a bloody queue.

(I hardly use a mobile, so I have a P&g.
Finally got through on that, but I used up a quid of credit listening to the options!)

Just got through. 11 minutes in queue. Would have cleaned out my mobile credit.
Now I just have to hope that it arrives before the boro game!

Mine says valid in England, it’s amazing how difficult it is to work through this.

Covid passes narrowly passed in the Senedd. 28 for, 27 against

Introduced from Monday

**Maurice Swan** · 05-10-21, 17:39

Have to add my tale........First vaccination in ENgland....second in Wales......and never the twain shall meet....not joined up......
After several months wrangling, both are recorded in NHS Wales. BUT BUT BUT.....cannot get a certificate because a) one has to be registered to a UK doctor...and b) it has to be sent to the address registered with that doctor.......
As I actually reside in France (was back in UK for a few months) this has proved insurmountable. Consequently I have not bee able to go to a restaurant with my family nor take my children to public play places in France....
It has gone round and round like pass the parcel..... NHS Wales.....Jenny Rathbone ...MP....Eluned Morgan. (Health Minister)....all to no avail. A complete and utter shambles. No-one will take accountability for finding a solution.

My eventual recourse is that later this month I will be eligible for a (3rd) booster in France, after which I can get a French Pass!!

it has to be
