Re: Back in the day..

"Guess its like the Aussies and Kiwis in the UK"

a few years ago had a work trip to France including in group a colleague with Indian passport who needed a Schengen visa. On return to Heathrow we (UK passport holders) queued up for passport check and after getting through waited for what we assumed would be some time before our colleague got throught he "other passports" clearance. After about 10 minutes he phoned us from the car hire bus stop asking where we were - turned out that passport clearance in the UK/EU queue was considerably longer than the "other passports" queue as they'd checked and scanned all our pasports while he'd only shown the visa page which shown he'd been allowed in before and had been waved straight through!
