Must admit - it was quite interesting - I will be certain to avoid ALL doubt and not book any travel with Rina during that month we do her naturalization and application for UK Passport

Hey! I tried to say it in Japanese so he won't be exposed to the other members that I am criticising him as he's an idiot! but apparently it's just a claim he's been in Japan that long when he isn't!

Just a thought Irishman ...You may think it a good idea to delete that post and some how arrange it that it obviously came from Mystica..........these posts remain here for years
Very disappointing she said such a thing..
Thank you for taking the trouble to translate My Google trans still couldn't fathom it out even when I put in Japanese
BTW..I've sent you a rep for your troubles :-)

Well there is always that aspect. We should all take some precautions.
My user name is just that....a user name.....most folks here know my real name is Peter
rather than Terpe.
Some have met both me and my wife in person. I actually do exist.
All the rest of my profile is accurate and true.
Most of the regulars here know my story...............no problems for me to outine again though.
It's always going to be guessing game in reviewing someones forum profile against a few picked up hints.
I was lucky to have had a job which was also my hobby and passion. Railways...trains.
I spent over 30 years in various positions travelling the world supporting and consulting Railway companies in specialised areas of railway engineering.
During that period I got based in Japan. Much easier, quicker and cheaper to be based there to support our interests in China and Asia.
It was really by chance that during my time in Japan I happened to get introduced to the lady who became my wife. She was also at that time living in Japan and running her business in jazz themed restaurant.
That was our life for many years until we decided to come to England to take care of my parents who were suffering various health problems.
We came to England 8th November 2002 and have been here since. (unfortunately)
Even back then we experienced a tough time with immigration.
Neither of us had a job although we did have savings and we did have rented accommodation set up.
I though it would be easy for me to find a job.....but was soon proved wrong on that one.
Seemed even then I was either just too old or too picky. I really wanted an 'ethical' job.
Some time in January 2003 I managed to secure a 6 month contract with the Inland Revenue. After that intial contract I was offered full time employment with various roles involved with Employer Tax regimes and later with other interesting aspects. Eventually the then named Border and Immigration Agency was merged with HMRC to become UKBA.
Simple story and nothing special.
Except that by some strange quirk of fate two people from different sides of the planet meet up by chance in yet another country and end up spending their lives together.
Like a few others here, our plan is to relocate to Philippines very very soon and enjoy a wonderful life together in our autumn and sunset years....
Can't wait for that.

It's a small world Terpe,... I'm one of the real life 'railway children',..seriously ! I lived out in the hills at a railway junction way back in 1960-67,..only means of transport was the trains,...going to school, going into town and visits from the doctor ! The television crew came to us and made a documentary about my family in 1965 !
My father wrote a small book about his memories of his life working on the railway, all the proceeds were given to the local charity that were trying to restore the line around where he spent all his working days. It was written very formally from all his diaries he used to keep. Some good old-fashioned photo's of some old steam and diesel engines.I will send you a PM with a link for it if you wish ?

That would be most welcome and very kind. Sadly Jonny, just now you not able to access PM
I'll contact you with my e-mail address.
We used to have a railway line and station in our village way back when. Like you it was the pretty much the only way to get to the nearest towns.
The station has gone and most of the line taken up. It's now a cycle track and nature walk..very nice too. Some of the track remains and form part of a local Steam Railway system.
I'll be in touch with you via e-mail.

Thanks for sharing that info about you...but like i have said i would never expect someone to give too much info about themselves online or never would judge anybody if they dont want to be identified as well...as for others privacy matter and so it does to me. Although i dont share any info about me here some member if not most knows me personally

Can you clarify. Are you of Filipino origin, and looking? Traveling to Saudi on a brand new, shiney, no stamps, British Passport?
If so then they may have suspected other things such as it being invalid 'because you're obviously not British'. They are a law unto themselves out there.

No Trefor. She was travelling on a Philippines passport.
Apparently she was still waiting for her British Passport at that time.
Just prior to travelling she had become a naturalised British Citizen and she said that the UKBA (or other authority) had immediately shared that information to Philippine Embassy and that immediately following that the Philippine Embassy had somehow revoked/cancelled her Philippine passport without her knowledge leading to the Saudi immigration refusing entry as her passport was invalid.
The objective of the many questions was to establish the root cause as it seemed unlikely that such information would be shared and shared so quickly.
Many folks have become naturalised British Citizens but continued to travel on their Philippine passports without any issue.
The key factor being, is there a sharing of information about becoming a British Citizen from UK authorities to other foreign Embassies/authorities. Or is it incumbent solely on the individual to declare such changes as otherwise it remains unknown.
It appears from the practical experience of many that there is no automatic secret sharing of such information.
But according to Mystica there is indeed a sharing of such information as it subsequently happened in her experience as outlined here in this thread.
