. Thanks for your patience and time pointing me in the right direction. Ill give that a go in the next few days and report back. Much appreciated mate.
. Shall do. Any Idea how i would go about this to get a definitive answer at the immigration office? Who would I want to be speaking to? (as in what level of bureaucrat?) And I suppose I would be wanting this in writing?. Given the application of some of these regulations appears adhoc and regional and lets just describe it as flexible, id hate to be ruining it for others , by forcing a ruling on something that may presently be being applied at an individual level at the discretion of the IO... or should i just be asking the question in a oft handed way to test the waters, and if thats the case, who would you think (bureaucratically speaking) would i be asking this to?
