New Zealand passport holders on fast-track to easy entry at UK airports
British Chancellor Philip Hammond has announced his government open up e-passport gates to visitors from New Zealand, Canada, America and Japan. He made the announcement while unveiling his budget in Britain's House of Commons. "Well open the use of e-passport gates at Heathrow and other airports, currently only available to EEEA nationals. "[We'll change the gates] to include visitors from United States, Canada, New Zealand, Australia and Japan." In the lead up to Brexit, both New Zealanders and Australians are being given access to "fast track" e-gates, previously used only be EU passport holders. In the announcement made by UK Chancellor Philip Hammond, it was said that other nationalities would soon be allowed speedier entry to the UK – including passport holders from Canada, the United States and Japan.
The move will reduce the time it takes for New Zealanders to move through airports when visiting the United Kingdom.The e-passport gates are currently at 22 airports and international rail terminals across the country and will be accepting New Zealand passports as early as next year. The news follows a chaotic summer for British airports, where passport control queues tailed for two and a half hours.

Don’t Wash Your Hair In The Shower
It’s so good to finally get a “Health Warning” that is useful.
It involves the shampoo when it runs down your body when you shower with it… a warning to us all!”
I don’t know why I didn’t figure this out sooner!
I use shampoo in the shower when I wash my hair.
The shampoo runs down my whole body and printed very clearly on the shampoo label is this warning: “For Extra Body & Volume”
No wonder I have been gaining weight!
Well I got rid of that shampoo.
I am going to start showering with Dawn dishwashing Soap instead.
The label reads: “Dissolves Fat” that is otherwise difficult to remove.
Problem Solved✅
