Due to fly to Barbados Sept 1st, Just spent 2-3 hours getting my head around PCR tests and arrival requirements tests are getting slightly cheaper £89 at express tests with results in 24 hours.

Not going to book the tests yet as it all might chnge in the next 2 weeks

Barbados is a breeze if you are double vaccinated, no complaints from the people in resort.

Thats good to hear, I spoke to Virgin Atlanic today and they have home PCR test that yiu do on a video call with a 'medical profesional' then the results get uploaded immediatly.

Its just the first time of doing PCR seems confusing, the V Atlantic chap even said he dont think they are testing exerone on arrival ,,, just a random selection, but I dont know if thats Gospel or rumours.

I should be enjoying a fortnight-plus in the Dordogne, but am not because our government is incapable of understanding the difference between Reunion and mainland France. It might have twigged the difference by now, but it's too cowardly to back down on its daft decision.

A day trip to Burnley - happy with that.

Just take a 12,000 mile detour back to UK via beta hot spot Reunion and its problem solved!!!

We are in the eastern Pyrenees (French side) right now. We will stay for a while - I am pretty sure that the Amber-plus rating will go at the end of next week for the double jabbed, which we are. Ridiculous if this is not the case - covid rates here are very low. If necessary, we'll fly home from Spain.

I've waded through several pages but can't see anything. Sure I saw someone recommending a place that offered decent priced Day 2 PCR test ... somewhere near Seven Dials I thought?

Anyone help with that?

Alternative is Randox at home I s'pose

We are using The Regenerative Clinic on Ditchling Road (by Fiveways). £39 for a day test on return.

I think I saw the same very useful post you might be refering to. The one I saw is at Fiveways (£39 in-clinic, no faffing about with dropboxes etc)

*edit* beaten to it gah!

Has anybody tested positive whilst on holiday ? I know someone who is currently isolating in a caravan in Cornwall with her family for exactly this reason. Having a holiday just doesn’t seem worth the risk of that eventuality.
