Will they get the job done

Leavers are truly unreal. God bless 'em.

Trying to remember if bobk had an actual farm there (and hence would require a visa to go over) or just a holiday home....

Holiday home with 4 Hc field.

Holiday home with 4 Hc field.

That sounds like a business enterprise to me - especially so if the house is let out to others at any point. Business visa then.

Holiday home with 4 Hc field.

Wheres he gone anyway? @bobk

Yep he is busy doing it up so he can pay 47% tax on its increase in value,
and that is after they reassess his tax d habitation and tax foncier,

EHIC does not cover a great deal and people travelling need travel insurance: it is as simple as that.

 

[czechmate]

Has anyone travelled to any country without travel insurance ?

Wow five minutes to get a IDP, us old codgers with paper licences have always needed one

Im sure EU countries will want to have to employ loads of extra staff at entry points, the swiss have already said we will still go through the same channels.

O2 have told me there will be no extra charges on roaming.

But hey keep looking for anything negative if it makes you happy

I have never taken out travel insurance.
I use this policy with most things in life (hail on osr another example) and use the logic that I have saved so much in premiums, I have my own insurance

No they don’t.

 

[ollie989898]

No they don’t.

Good luck with that.

 

[czechmate]

Good luck with that.

I never have

 

[czechmate]

Good luck with that.

Do you think you can get/afford fully comp for this

Well, I couldn’t.
So the occasions it ended up like this...

It came out of my pocket.

If you can’t afford the risk of the activity, don’t f**kin do it.

I have a mate that travels all over the world without travel insurance. Some remote places that you would never normally see. I wouldn’t do that, but am quite happy to have minimal EHIC “emergency only” cover for a week in France.

I guess its always a balance, I dont insure buildings for storm damage or flooding and only some for fire, I know what it would cost me to replace them, but not having travel insurance which in my case only costs a tiny percentage of potential costs is a price worth paying

Hmm, I always work on the basis that insurance companies are not charities but in business to make a profit after their operating costs, so I take my own risk.
Plus, my place in the uk was burgled so regularly that they wouldn’t insure me anyway. And the police wouldn’t come out eigher, just give a reference number... for my insurance claim.
Can laugh about it now but bloody frustrating at the time.
Last thing I had lifted from there was a 2wd, cabless david brown 995!,,, who would nick such a thing?

I agree with that in many senses, and in all the years I have been skiing I have been very lucky and not asYET(touching wood) made a claim but the risk of having to pay to get air lifted off the mountain and maybe even back to Blighty is a step too far, normally I am covered by bank policy but they only do 21 day trips at a time so for our 77 days this time I think the 180 odd quid each is cheap, airlift off the mountain is several thousand, as a relation of my wifes found out last year by relying on his ehic, it also covers me incase I cause an injury and get sued which these days is becoming more common.

That's not a bloody holiday though is it... Geez, you are participating in a dangerous sport, just like Scuba Diving is on a Caribbean holiday, your own risk...

I don't recall him stating that, but if he did he was entirely wrong, you write it too.

Well de Pfeffel Johnson did, famously, say "f**k business!" Clearly that is what he intends to do.
