    Have you topped up a UK pension to cover gaps?

    Exactly Exactly the same for me. Paid in May, not showing on my NI contributions record so called them in August. Was told that yes, they had received the payment but it would take 8 weeks to be reflected on my records……still not showing. The time frame is not a concern to me, but interestingly...

    YouTubers. Youtubers everywhere [Travel Bloggers]

    I find watching these vlogs useful for gleaning the expectations on the airline, aircraft, and flight. But the popularity of these videos is in some ways self defeating.

    Qatar Airways Lounge in Singapore T1

    Was on BA 15 a few weeks ago and had no problems accessing. Lounge was very quiet. Had a quick shower and Singapore Sling before making the long trek back to the gate.

    Arrived at LHR three times last month. On all occasions aircraft door to kerbside in 35 mins…. ( Both bags and immigration) T3 & T5. BA 15 at Syd, first plane to arrive so no other aircraft to unload. Immigration fast but luggage took 45 mins before they started to arrive.

    I kinda agree. He’ll be more likely remembered for taking the point off NOR than achieving the fastest lap ( a feat a lot of participants could have replicated with fresh tyres and little fuel.) But unless the championship is decided by one point then….and if it’s that case then McLaren will be...

    Perhaps as a reaction to RIC’s fastest lap spoiler in SIN, F1 is dropping the one bonus championship point for fastest lap in 2025. https://www.bbc.com/sport/formula1/articles/c4g4qqg3jzlo
