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?

Re: FCO LOCATE
 

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 ?
Twats

Re: FCO LOCATE
 

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!

Re: FCO LOCATE
 

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!!

Re: FCO LOCATE

Re: FCO LOCATE
 

All of which seem to tie in very nicely with your avatar :D

Re: FCO LOCATE
 

I may register for the last few weeks for the craic.

Re: FCO LOCATE
 

If you went to Eton or Cheltenham you really should not be asked to deal face-to-face with those dreadful oiks who went to comprehensive schools.!

Re: FCO LOCATE
 

:)

Re: FCO LOCATE
 

Would you like to try that post again?

Re: FCO LOCATE
 

I think I am doing okay with my macular degeneration !

Re: FCO LOCATE
 

********.

Have I beat the system?

Dammit!

Re: FCO LOCATE
 

Scunthorpe is a really depressing town near where britexpat76 lived.

(Edit) Well that works....

Re: FCO LOCATE
 

s **** horpe doesn't though

Re: FCO LOCATE
 

All a bit of a bugger, really....There are some real SeaHunts on the bored!

Re: FCO LOCATE
 

Have you noticed the pleasure that little boys get from using BAD WORDS !

Re: FCO LOCATE
 

Your lexicon is as stunted as your intellect. "Bad words"? Jeez, the English language abounds with profanities, and the apposite use of them demonstrates an appreciation of the richness of the language. Remonstrating about "bad words" belongs to junior school and societies controlled by immature people. Just ****ing grow up.

Re: FCO LOCATE
 

even shakespeare used ****

Re: FCO LOCATE
 

Not entirely sure which word you are using there, but he also used a 17th century version of one of those words which won't be picked up by the 'Sweary Filter'. ;)

You'll also find his play on the word in Twelth Night when Malvolio is trying to read a letter "By my life, this is my ladys hand! These be her very Cs, her U's, 'n her Ts; and thus makes she her great Ps."

Re: FCO LOCATE
 

Can't understand a lot of US Websites banning certain words! Perhaps it is the process of retracting the vocabulary of the population? - And (as usual) postings went way off topic!

Re: FCO LOCATE
 

You should consider boycotting these websites mate. Principles and all that

Re: FCO LOCATE
 

What? Sites like this one?

Re: FCO LOCATE
 

Stop ruining the subtlety of my witticisms

Re: FCO LOCATE
 

I knew that I had a fellow fiend out there somewhere! :D

Re: FCO LOCATE
 

If not having the ability to use two swear words is stumping someone then their vocabulary was obviously not very large in the first place ;) :lol:

Re: FCO LOCATE
 

Another totally meaningless risposte has been noted! My kind regards for a response which veers even further off topic! Are you frightened of the 'Eschalon List?'

Re: FCO LOCATE
 

Mmmmm two days! - I take that as a NO then!

Re: FCO LOCATE
 

I've moved on now ..... so many threads, so little time :D

Re: FCO LOCATE
 

Your (deflective) response speaks volumes! - Indeed, it really does!
