Really? This is a sweeping overgeneralisation. I find most Kiwis to be very obnoxious and always have a chip on their shoulder about something (small country syndrome).

My point exactly. Whether "nobody seems to have anything against them" is irrelevant to the ease of getting a passport. Its usually due to reciprocal rights.


And before people get upset and go off on the whole "racist" angle ... Im a Kiwi: was trying to be humourous somewhat.

Actually, my point was that Kiwi passport holders seem to get easy access through most border points, and get visas easily or in many cases not need one. There is some evidence that in hijackings Kiwi passport holders are more likely to be released, less likely to be summarily shot. Despite their (claimed) individual obnoxious-ness, as a political entity Kiwis don't seem to offend (and their participation in many 'peace-keeping' and other roles globally doesn't seem to have been noticed by terrorists).

Gee lane lover, you're really doing us Kiwis proud on this Forum. Keep up the good work.

Given all the different views, again, I'd speak to a professional. I don't think you have anything to worry about but everyone on here is largely speaking from their own experience (including me) which may or may not be relevant given our different nationalities and the rules that may have changed since we applied.

heheheh .thanks guys and thanks to Lady D .:D

I don't think that legislation was created to target neighborhood chat rooms any more than anti-terrorist legislation was created to imprison accountants for poor jokes on Twitter.


I'm sure it wouldn't require guidance from the Director of Public Proescutions to see that!

It's the OISC who would be the ones to decide whether to bring charges not the DPP.


The reason it is a regulated activity though, is because of the vulnerable nature of many of the people who need help, so even if someone is well meaning, but wrong in their advice, the effect on the person heeding their advice can be significant.

That's not the case Ian. Even if you offer immigration advice for free or are a charity you must be registered. Making comments on a forum is unlikely to be a problem but it's worth pointing out because the reason giving immigration advice is illegal if not registered is because of the unique vulnerability of the people who need the advice and the disastrous effect on people's lives of incorrect advice.

    • Thanks for all of the thoughts. I have a letter from searches which outlines the scope of work but doesn't mention any work guarantee as far as I can see. I agree that next step is to check directly with the major works team. Tim .
    • I thoroughly recommend Jay from JK Electrical Contractors who is an NICEIC registered. NICEIC is the UK's leading certification body for the electrical contracting industry and conducts regular audits and assessments on all its members. It is the specialist trade body which certifies professional electricians.  Jay completed the installation of a 19 way consumer unit for us and works to the highest standards and our entire electrical installation is now fully compliant with 18th Edition of the electrical wiring regulations. Before installing the new CU he traced and corrected faults that had developed over the last 25 years -some of which were my DIY bodges that were non-compliant.  We now have an installation that is 100% safe and  reliable . His contact details are :- 0208 150 6450 [email protected] Here is what he installed for us.
    • I fully support this petition, however it will need to be shared far & wide to be effective. Also there is always a huge amount of interest / objection during the festival, but not so much when they start consulting for the next one, usually around January. It's crucial that everyone that has been impacted makes their voice heard then.  A couple of points which may be good to include in the wording (if it is still possible to amend?) - The total tickets sold are way more than 3000. The licence allows a capacity of up to 9,999, but this may include staff & performers etc. The published attendance for 2024 was:  Friday – 8,999 / Saturday – 9,512 / Sunday – 9,422 So that's c.28,000 people trampling & littering our park over three days - people who have no need or desire to take any care or consideration of our park.  - Gala claim for 2024 that "62% of all ticket holders were from Southeast London and 18% of these were from hyper-local postcode areas SE15 and SE22." So a bit of maths shows that means that around 89% of attendees were not what most people would term 'local'... - Gala have ambitions / plans to extend the number of event days to 6, over two weekends. They applied for a licence for this in 2024, but then withdrew it. Instead they added a "free" event, billed as a community day, to the existing 3 day festival, thereby increasing the event days to 4.  This would appear to be an attempt to set a precedent for increasing the number of event days, and it's inevitable that they will attempt to secure the 6 days they desire for 2026, to increase their profits further. Two weekends in a row of noise, disturbance & disruption would be unacceptable, plus an extra c.18,000 trampling & littering the park... - The site size has been increased. The claim is that it is to compensate for lost storage space due to recent flood alleviation works, but the area has increased by more than the area lost, and appears to have been used for attendee activity rather than site storage. Gala have often stated that the festival can only be located in the park because the footprint has been designed specifically for that area, and yet this year the footprint had been amended & extended without any apparent issues. Surely this proves that it could be relocated?  Apologies, I just can't help going into rant mode on this issue, but hopefully some of the above may be helpful in increasing the argument presented by the petition?
