Its a shambles mind.
You have to fill in the details on an app. Great if you've got a smartphone and internet access.
There were a few people in our place. Asked the rep "Oh you can get the form when you arrive". On the plane, "you can get the form at the airport".
Get to BHX at almost midnight. No forms. Border people dont have any forms, not interested. Told a few people not their job to do this. Airport closing, no customs either.
So what happens - a ton of people just get their bags and go home - no record of them now. Great system!

Not really a problem as I'm WFH and eldest is swatting for the 11 plus. ...

Like everyone else I think Psychocandy is completely barking mad going to Spain ATM, and probably the last weeks' events have proved us right!

Better put Britain on that list:
A Turkish couple living in Berlin has triggered an urgent track and trace process in the city after returning from a holiday to visit friends in Manchester and testing positive for coronavirus.
Out of 50 of people with whom they have had contact since their return, 13 have so far tested positive and the other 37 are in quarantine.
The couple, a taxi driver (50) and his wife (45), arrived back home on a Ryanair flight on 16 July. They were not diagnosed until six days after their return. The whole family is now infected, including the couple’s four children (aged 9 to 21) and their 55-year-old grandmother.
Gudrun Widders, an official at the local health office in the district Berlin-Spandau, has told the newspaper Bild none of the family members has had to be hospitalised.
She said that the health office had made repeated attempts to contact Ryanair so that they can contact other passengers who were on the plane “but has so far had no feedback” from the airline.
It is not known if Ryanair has reacted to the information and informed other passengers who were on the same flight as the couple.

“ Downing Street has rejected the idea of offering people forced to quarantine on their return from Spain the chance of sick pay, saying those whose employers will not pay them in their absence should claim universal credit or seek arbitration.”

If I never come back, its been nice knowing you all....
In all honesty, I'm not bothered at all. Amazed to see work colleagues who are aghast that Im going abroad. Mind you a few of the permes have refused to go into supermarkets since it all began and refused to go into the office at all. Worlds gone crazy.
The mask thing is not going to be cool though. In the airport, and plane and partly in the hotel.....
