Every British traveller to the Schengen Area must be fingerprinted and provide a facial biometric.

https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/brexit-border-etias-dover-eurostar-b2130495.html

Yer it's been being implemented for a long long time.

Facial recognition has been in use in Bristol since I can remember so no biggy. But everytime they trial it in Spain it's a disaster so I can't wait 😆

Mr Slowly can never get through the e-gates in Bristol but they make him queue and prove it first then go and queue again where there's a real person. This time he lost his temper and swore at the border guard. He said your e-gates are fucking crap. The border guard replied yeah I know, they're rubbish, one little tiny thing and they reject it.

And thats the version they've been refining for donkeys 😂

Sorted a trip up to the north east of Spain for mid November so fingers crossed the weather is reasonable. Clearly it won’t be as good as down here but a chance to meet up with UK based mates was too much to resist.

Leaving on Thursday 16 November and heading to Lleida which is a fair old slog of about 650 klms if I avoid all motorways. Might use some motorway to kill a bit of distance first thing.

On the Friday head across to Platja d’Aro for the Costa Brava classic two day trials event and three nights fun and games with my mates………Monday morning leave ‘kin early and head home, possibly in one hit……depending on the weather. 🤣

The fog has lifted at last, what to do 1st 🤔  so many choices.  😂 

Flask of coffee or tea from home, ride out to get the scooter engine warm, stop by somewhere and have a coffee and take a BOTM picture, then ride back home. 10 or 20km each way, it's a change of pace and brightens up your day.

They only last about 10 mins in our household. 

 

They're in the Foreign food section of our local supermarket and cost a fortune, so we don't bother! 🤣🤣🤣

I rarely buy biscuits but it seems a bit rude not to offer people working in your house a cup o tea and a biscuit so I bought some hobnobs.

I’ve just retrieved them from the dogs bed somehow my lazy arthritic 12inch (max) high knackered 11 year old dog found it in herself to jump on a chair onto the kitchen table 😮

Fortunately her remaining three teeth only managed to power through maybe two biscuits before she was caught.

I wouldn’t mind so much if she had some sort of idea she’s the one in the wrong and wasn’t now giving me really evil looks for taking them away 😆
