That’s a bit of a strawman argument. Most journeys don’t consist of three children and all their sporting equipment. As a practical example, in the UK, on average a young g child lives 1.7miles away from their school. That is an easily walk

Are you sure your passport wasn’t checked? What you’re describing sounds like it was the customs check. Pre-brexit, if you were arriving from the EU, then there was no customs check since we were all part of the same customs union. The usua

I never sign up for subscriptions anymore without using a virtual card. Once I've paid the yearly fee, I immediately cancel the card. When it comes to renew, they'll be very keen to let me know that my card needs updating.
