FCO LOCATE
 

Dear Locate User,

The FCO is moving from a system where British nationals are encouraged to register when they travel in case there is a crisis, to one where we are using a number of channels to give the latest information and advice on what you should do if you need our help in a crisis and how to contact the FCO's crisis response team. From 14 May we will no longer use the LOCATE system, instead using our resources to improve our travel advice service and focus on those who most need our help.

Please read the attached document for more information.

Regards,


LOCATE Team


What does this mean? - **** Off unless you are paying?

I received that and was amused by this line "using our resources to improve our travel advice service and focus on those who most need our help." How much of the FO resource does it use to get some pimply geek to set up a webpage that the 'customers' fill in and they do nothing?

Re: FCO LOCATE
 

The age old story of British dips not wanting any contact with British citizens, much prefering to flog Weapons instead, Useless twunts.

Re: FCO LOCATE
 

totally agree , the embassies are far more concerned with furthering the interests of British business and making money from visa applications than looking after British nationals when they have a problem.

Re: FCO LOCATE
 

Utter wankers as per usual. I didn't get the mail despite registering every year with locate.
This is another flimsy excuse to spend their time coming up with tasks to avoid actually doing any work.

Anyone remember when the embassy started to post on here then quickly disappeared ?

Possibly because the site does not have a Hindi facility

Re: FCO LOCATE
 

Does it read like I'm fluent in Hindi ?

Re: FCO LOCATE
 

Jeez! - I wish people could READ before they put both feet in their mouths! - What I meant was, is that most of it has gone over to Call Centres! - I used the 'Subtle Approach!' - Evidently, too subtle!

Apologies, see thread about kids and lack of sleep

Re: FCO LOCATE
 

Is that relevant? - Before I waste my time?

Re: FCO LOCATE
 

Wow and I thought I was being a **** today.

Relevant yes, important? Not even slightly. Waste of time? Clearly

Re: FCO LOCATE
 

**** makes the message unreadable. Vocabulary limitations?

Re: FCO LOCATE
 

There's only two words on our sweary filter and both those only have 4 letters in them .... so I think it's easy to figure out which ones they are ;) :D

Re: FCO LOCATE
 

**** me, really?

Re: FCO LOCATE
 

Is the other one ****?

EDIT: Yes it is!!
