  2.   Call HMRC and ask them.  I paid annually by cheque drawn on my UK bank (HMRC told me exactly what to write on the back).

      If they did they would likely be pilloried by exactly the same people who are complaining now.

  16. Brexit, New residence permits

    HEM replied to Feierabend's topic in Visas/permits

      It is within Schleswig-Holstein - at least within our Kreis (they wrote just before Christmas stating this). The rest supposedly takes place automatically.   However, 2 years ago (2019) I had submitted the Application for a Residence Permit...

  17. Old criminal matter

    HEM replied to Robert_Black's topic in Legal

      How & when did you re-enter? If you re-entered via a German airport I would have presumed that the immigration officials scanned your passport?
  18.   Obviously our kids got some exposure in school but they (now young adults) continualy thank us for not registering them as "being in the church" or being put through "Konfirmation".

    HEM replied to Gambatte's topic in Miscellaneous

    "One" what?

  20. computer printer - which to buy?

    HEM replied to Gambatte's topic in Miscellaneous

      Thats true.  Remember that if the printer comes with ink included thats only a minimal amount of ink! IIRC with my last printer the included ink tanks were described as "for testing purposes" or similar.   FWIW I have a HP ENVY 5032 printer/scanner since 2 years & its OK. Connected to my desktop PC via USB (cable not supplied but luckily cable from previous printer fitted). It also has WiFi activated for the various laptops around the house. I have not worked out how to print envelopes!

    HEM replied to LostBetweenCountries's topic in International affairs

    Which won't help much if returning tourists have to go into quaranteen in their home country.

  23. Brexit, New residence permits

    HEM replied to Feierabend's topic in Visas/permits

    In Schleswig-Holstein (at least my area) I got a letter saying I did not need to do anything as My Name vos also on ze Liste & they would contact me to collect card and pay x Euros.

  24. Brexit: The fallout

    HEM replied to dom's topic in International affairs

      Probably - as they are harvested by a machine called a "Pea Viner".  Not a lot of people know that (I didn't). https://peas.org/the-harvesting-process/   There is even the Great British Pea Week media event held near Sleaford in Lincolnshire.   Going for a Pea...

      However the BBC has a long history of leaning to the left side of the spectrum.
