Re: Chicken Curry

My wife makes a cracking curry from scratch, a recent development in her culinary skills (which are negligible to say the least). In recent months, with less time on her hands, she has switched to...

Re: Digital Passport Photos

If you mean a British Passport renewal, you can take your own on a phone. It can be a bit of effort to ensure it matches the needs (white background, no shadow etc.) but I;ve done it for three now...

Re: Relocating from UK to USA with 16 and 14

That is going to be the most challenging aspect - GCSE's have an output at the end of the second year. The child here would be mid way through, and there isn't an easily transferrable output to the...
