Jeremy Clarkson sparks controversy again...

The thing is, like him or not, he's right. I travel a lot and have used Iris scan for years, not for long as they're scrapping it - it always worked for me. Anyway back to the point, the UK/EU queues are far too slow, they need to use some common-sense profiling. Plus they need more front line staff on all the counters.

Btw I like Manilla's immigration, nice and quick, I even beat my 'local' lady through as they were interested in her passport stamps and various visa bits. I even managed to get through the locals line when exiting the country too to save queueing :-) (and I don't look like a local!)

It took me several hours to get through immigration in Manila, last year...

And it took me and the wife about 20 minutes to get through Immigration together in Manchester last October in the Non EU channel.

Hm, maybe it is like everywhere else then - fast and slow times depending on how many flights are coming in.
