PeterB, I don't think there was a need for you to correct me in the way that you have, it only seeks to cause me some embarrassment even if that was not the motive of your post, the effect however seeks to make me look incompetent in my information post, if I have got it wrong, and the consul is not new, but in post for a year already, then the polite thing to do would be to give me the update on personal message, I would then be able by a further post to correct my mistake, I was led to believe that she has only recently been appointed, the information was passed to me by a.n. other resident in the Philippines, I shall take up the matter with that person on the accuracy, but I am concerned about the tone of your reply, I do not like giving out false information or inaccurate information.
With regard to the wardens, I was unaware of the arrangements for this but find 1 warden for 12 Brits a little bit over the top, perhaps some of the Brits don't feel the need to be registered, I can think of a few who are not.
