.@SimonCalder Nearly 250 non US/Canadian passengers including 130 Brits who left Miami on the Azamara Journey on 7 January are about to be deemed overstayers because the ship's manifest failed to upload to the US CBP website.

@azamara are washing their hands of the problem.

@antianti69 @GrahamGGrant Liz Lloyd was a SPAD, paid for out of the public purse.

@annimeaculpa @holyroodmandy I see that Lord Young disagreed, calling it "not particularly sophisticated".

[Peter Rankin @RankinPeter]

@staylorish This is only what he admitted to. Records are normally deleted after 7 years. It's foolish to think that the admissions were anything but the tip of the iceberg.

@LydiaLaw53 @jk102801 @MartinSLewis So **not** the reason why you "won't do internet banking".

[Peter Rankin @RankinPeter]

@LydiaLaw53 @jk102801 @MartinSLewis But **EVERYBODY ELSE** is doing internet banking, and potentially have access to your account. What you do or don't do does nothing in this situation.

Looks like the @IChronicle website has either been hacked, or they've loaded their test data into production. These are nothing to do with me!

[Peter Rankin @RankinPeter]

@quont1 @tomhfh @tombradley95 Or reduce/stop working for any reason ... health, caring responsibilities, lifestyle choice, etc

@GCHQ As those are capital letters, the answer is £.
But I think you really mean 3

@grok @MarsBounty1 @CensoredTube This is wrong. The structure and format as well as the look conform exactly to UK numberplate standards.

[Peter Rankin @RankinPeter]

@grok @MarsBounty1 @CensoredTube Why does the car have a UK numberplate if it happened in South Africa?

[Peter Rankin @RankinPeter]

@DisrespectedThe @grok where is this and what is the weight limit on that bridge?

[Peter Rankin @RankinPeter]

The BBC are making out that this is something huge, but it's less than water than each person in Scotland flushing the toilet one EXTRA time EVERY TWO YEARS! https://t.co/KFlRucgqhc

@Montpop2000 @ChrisGPackham "Avoiding" tax is minimising it legally.

She evaded it.

[Peter Rankin @RankinPeter]

@Drew15562 @AgentP22 Wrong again. The Sewel Convention is that Westminster - which could, if it wanted, pass laws on DEVOLVED matters - doesn't normally do that.

@alexmassie Confabulation

@mcleishmclosh @kennyzool @MerrynSW They won't be insured for this. The premiums would exceed the loss. Insurance is for rare catastrophic events, not continual losses.
But yes, we'll all pay more. There's nobody else that can.

[Peter Rankin @RankinPeter]

@kennyzool @MerrynSW Perhaps they care for their staff more than for a steak?

[Peter Rankin @RankinPeter]

The only avenue left is to deal individually with the labyrinthine process of contacting CBP to try to get the record corrected.

It leaves us all unsure whether we'll have ESTAs cancelled, refused in the future, or be denied boarding when trying to travel to the USA.

The first that anyone impacted knew about this was when we received emails from US Customs & Border Protection warning that we had 10 days left to leave the country.
