Ok...yes I agree...but no words were exchanged , I was there at priority lane with him for ten minutes..no exaggeration, (70 yrs old ), smart,well groomed,smart clothes, he fiddled about and eventually stamped me in ,I didn’t bother checking this time(as I did before and noticed a mistake when they gave me a month back on Oct 30th), because I’m due to leave 28th March till autumn ....I know I shoukd have......the stamp is for

/20 I will post if I can work out how !...it seems to me that even with a proper visa (over the years I’ve had retirement extensions on non o’s and O-A’s(past three ).....that they are becoming increasingly unfriendly .....I mean what does one do,proper visa etc above board,flat in CM and they still treat one like that.....I will go for non o extensions again next time.....but yes do check the entry at counter (as I did way back in Oct when they stamped me in for a month,and then when I pointed it out begrudgingly gave me a year!).....hey maybe just use non priority lanes!

No nothing said re insurance, my visa issued August 2019 multiple OA so should get a year each entry before August 2020......strange he stamped till 7th April 2020(five weeks)....anyway I am due to leave till autumn on 28th March so I didn’t check this time (normally I do)I looked later......he was friendly ,maybe he didn’t know the system ......

na tried forever...trial runs as not needed yet.....I am pretty familiar with system after previous success but now it won’t budge and only gives me O-A choice which I am dumping later this year.....for non O.......a nice day out in Cardiff is no probs and they responded within a day when I made a general enquiry..unlike London from whom I get nothing in reply......thanks for the input
