Just fyi, on the site Martins Money Making Tips, there is a list of testing sites to use, and it gives discount codes that you can use in order to get something knocked off the cost - we also used  Randox and we were going by boat but still used the Easy Jet code.

...ld be worth telling them what happened to you so they can alert other people.

Booked 2 individual tests with VIVO at £14.95 each leaving on the 4th(Thursday) Locator form ref used on flights.  Self completion form for me arrived on Saturday and no other test kit been sent yet(Monday). Could not complete the VIVO negative test on the system and when checked by all methods advised that we wont be fined if we don't complete it!  It makes the whole system a con and joke. Have both now completed the free nhs ones which are negative which of course we can't use!  I cannot be bothered to waste more time trying to report answers so will spend time claiming for the VIVO test that hasn't arrived.

  Judging from the mask apathy of non wearing in England compared to Spain, someone with some common sense in government make a RULE regarding re wearing otherwise we will head for lockdown again against the rising levels. And now its dam cold here! looking forward to winter    Stay safe      the Common Man

I live in Wales and it's full masking wearing here still,and always has been.not like England it's a joke there.

Even when I cross the border I still we're my mask everywhere.not like the English when they cross the border,think they think its all gone.shocking behaviour.

Hi

I had to rebook it at last minute with a company called Randox Health.

I hear Randox are quite good. Even approved by Bojo the Clown and his cronies.

I do wish people would refrain from referring to BoJo as a clown.

In my limited experience clowns are usually funny yet seldom dangerous....

Not so funny if you suffer from coulrophobia though!

I can second this with testing for all.  They say they offer a 7 day per week service both for sending out and delivery.  Mine certainly came on day 1, was easy to follow and simply uploaded photo of completed test for confirmation within 30 mins that all OK.  Also only cost £17 and a not-for-profit organisation

Interesting I'll try them next. Used vivotec and only got one of the 2 tests. Complained and they sent another test yesterday (no correspondence) again negative and in both tests no way of recording the data online, on the app, or via post. 

Checked the ramifications of not supplying the data and the answer from the government is that we would not be fined and would remain as lost data!.    Appalling system beware.                                                 the Common man
