IMO not really. It should not have happened and "better safe than sorry" until all the details were known. eg why was the door not locked and who else might have had access. I had (unauthorised) access to a cockpit once so my view may be coloured by that.
@Fiksdal, @Willeke:: Thanks for guiding me frame my Q. Surprised so many upvoted. Over in SE Android Enthusiasts only 3 of my 20 Q's got more than this , despite having a 9K rep there :)
@beeshyams The upvotes are appropriate. The question fits all the descriptions in the upvote tooltip: "This question shows research effort; it is useful and clear."
BTW, there is much more voting on Travel SE than on Android SE.
IMO lack of voting is a big problem on Android SE.
Hmmm .... It means I don't ask well over there . And yes, I realised that people are stingy with votes there, not complaining but different culture. I have two announcer badges there on my answers, which means > 25 visited the link mentioned in the answers but have a single upvote. Sorry for being OT but couldn't resist
Not 25 each = 50??. It's a culture thing, but if you see the upvoted of old timers, culture appears to be different, discounting the fact that votes accumulate over a period of time
@RoflcoptrException:: Thanks. That possibility didn't strike me. Anyway, generous (not overly si that it diminishes value) upvote culture is very good for site IMO
That's true but what I am saying is that the culture of upvotes here encourages participation whereas there votes are difficult to get easily and hence doesn't encourage people IMO
@Fiksdal:: This is the question. Just escaped being closed as being Android Independent thanks to mod Dan and Izzy - interesting vulnerabilities our devices have- commit what's really important and confidential to memory is my take
@pnuts AH! That guy gave 6 months of payslips and a single statement from a savings account. Something is out-of-whack there. I don't care what he says, something is out-of-whack why there are no bank statements.
@GayotFow I suspect there may well be a reason for the refusal (that we don't know) but what we do know (at 'face value') seems 'inconsistent' with the or being 'critical'. I was referring to the second bullet point at GOV.UK that has evidence that you can support yourself during your trip, eg bank statements or payslips from the last 6 months.
Of course bureaucrats do - I can even see some justification - but not everybody. I'd rather not be misled even where it is expedient to leave me a little uncertain.
No, no. Agreement is good! The rules being (deliberately and with good reason) vague is excusable. What seems wrong to me is to advise eg bank statements or payslips from the last 6 months when what is required is more like eg bank statements and payslips from the last 6 months, or equivalent. And yes, I very highly commend the current openness (and seeming fairness) but I guess I must be greedy because I'd still like improvement, where possible/practical.
@pnuts OK, I see, you mean the wording on the SVV page that says eg bank statements or payslips from the last 6 months. It implies that the two are interchangeable, right?
You completed a YMS tour in the UK and have been in the Republic since then, and you contemplate returning to the UK but have reservations (well founded).
To be honest, a British Immigration Officer is likely to see your premise as a contrivance and that you have a secondary agenda which you are...
I recall a TV programme you pointed me to where a Welsh woman and Indian spouse sought entry. They got it, just, when I rather doubt I would have allowed them in! The logic then seemed to be "doesn't feel quite right but can't put my finger on it" - which seems very fair!
Yes, that (the Aussie) is the one I thought. I recall trying to stand up for her at least as far as filing returns v. face-to-face with her accountant was concerned :)

@GayotFow sure, but does that make my opinion of the situation more or less reliable? Also, I'm only embedded in two states, which are both polling firmly in favor of Clinton. I doubt that I am any closer to the situation in important states like Florida and Ohio than you are.
@Fiksdal are those popular-vote polls? It certainly looks like it. That site's electoral map shows 262 votes for Clinton, 126 for trump, and 150 tossups. 144 of the tossups, or 96%, would have to go to Trump for him to win.
The simple answer is, no, this won't be allowed in any normal hotel-hotel.
Very simply, use holidayrentals.co.uk or airBnB.com to rent a "gite" instead. You'll save more money and it will be more suitable for what you want.

@Fiksdal but if you go here realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/us/…, you'll get the RCP average, which nationally is +6.1. That, by American electoral standards, is a pretty big margin (sadly, because how can 40% of people say "I want that guy," but here we are)
remember that it's a state-by-state election though. the national average doesn't mean much at all
The electoral college system is a weird way to elect a president, but the UK also elects PMs indirectly, independently of the first-past-the-post system for electing MPs.
the conventional wisdom is that the 4-way poll overstates support somewhat for 3rd party candidates, while the 2-way poll understates it slightly, based on what people have actually done in past years
@GayotFow Standing up to a two party corrupt system, maybe? I would easily vote for Stein. I don't care if she never stands a chance. I'd vote just for the heck of it. Not that I'm a citizen anyway.
and since elections are state-by-state, it does depend what state you're in to some extent. If you insist you're voting for Stein in California, where it's nowhere near close, I'm really not going to spend much time trying to argue that you're doing something wrong. If you're in Ohio, that's a different story
@ZachLipton The argument goes that it's meaningless to vote third party because they can never actually win. But the reason that is so is because people believe that very argument. I'd rather give a single vote to boosting third party numbers and a candidate I kinda like than vote for a candidate I despise.
@GayotFow yeah, me too.
Changing the subject, I don't think Joe Blow, is a troll, he contributes decent answers once in a while.
@Relaxed that's not what comments are for. I flag as rude /not constructive/too chatty as I feel appropriate and whether they are marked as helpful or not is up to the mods.
@Relaxed @Fiksdal Getting a temporary or even a permanent ban is something serious, so probably you're right and the threshold is quite high for that. But if users' comments, answers or questions get regularly flagged, we contact them privately and remind them to be nice.
Worse than that (in theory). Even for Brits in the UK it is illegal for someone who does not have a TV licence to watch iPlayer (with some exceptions).
In what sense of “can”? I don't have anything set-up, not sure I want to pay for one right now so I can't easily do that right now.
But I have a computer so I assume I could, in principle.
I actually vaguely intend to set-up a linux router to put my smart TV on a VPN and watch French stuff but that's a project for next year. If that works then maybe I will pay for a VPN subscription to have more options.
