spicyayam wroteI know the UK is a long way from Australia but I am sure they have systems in place to check whether you are a resident of UK. It would easily be checked by immigration records.
You think? What immigration records would those be?
There is the Schengen Agreement which guarantees free passage within the EU - internal borders are not controlled anymore and if you are [U]entering[/U] the UK they look at your passport but no great check is made - particularly to it's own illustrious and, might I say, beautiful citizens.
And presuming that you are right, how would Oz get access to UK immigration records?
By the time the UK came back with an answer to the Antipodean query I'm likely to have passed blissfully away from old age.
