@Gary *******

unless it's the UK where anyone can do anything they want

@Brian ********

ok, will do, but how long does it take you to realise that there was no appropriate answer for you.At some time in your life you have to make a decision or go and ask at immigration...then if they say it's ok ,then it's ok.then if they say not ok, you are back to square 1.. what do you do then? You have to make a decision..I have various dilemmas myself over immigration. The first thing I do is ask at immigration,then at least you can make a considered decision

@Brian ********

I'm saying a number of people have gone out of their way to offer suggestions but it's not what you want to hear... Ask 10 people get 10 different answers..try make a decision in your life

It would appear to me that you are not getting the answer you are wanting and not likely to,so would it not be best to not ask in the first place, keep quiet and take a risk for once in your life.
