Managed to book Brittany Ferries for Sunday Night, got a private clinic doing two LFTests on Friday £40 each... Looks like I'm going home 
Taking a chain-saw to find the front door. I hate to think what's growing in the swimming pool. Harpoon gun ready.

What's not to like? Booking campsites rather than just rolling up somewhere!

all about money. What difference does who paid for it make to the validity of the test?
Interesting comments and the post below is quite informative:
By clarifying how 'easy' it is to fudge the results this is the likely reason why the NHS provided ones (regardless of whether you pay for them or not) are not acceptable. On the subject of cost though, why should the NHS (funded by UK taxpayers) pay for tests so that those who want to travel abroad on holiday can use them for free? Should the UK tax payers pay for my dogs' AHCs so that they can travel abroad too?

No, children are completely immune and cannot transmit. Stay at home dum dum.

Are you staying in Spain until they are on our green list?, That's what I intend to do, going there on 30th June
You had better learn about rule number one buddy or you will, as a minimum be joining the Coventry Bad Boys Club. Do not insult other members!

I assume that was an attempt at sarcasm? It fell flat I'm afraid as we don't 'insult' other members until we know them well and then only in fun.

You have made an assumption that i think the test should be free, i never said that, but that does not alter the fact that i think they are too expensive, given that the test is the same, it is the method of reporting and recording the results that are different.
Come on, play fair i never said they should be free.
BTW, i am a UK taxpayer.

This is news to me, I thought children could both catch and transmit Covid, just don't get bad symptoms. Schools having split classes so that when one child tests positive not everyone has to quarantine. Have I missed something?
No you have not. Children can catch and transmit the covid virus.
I am looking to cross over from Dover first week in July and re-visit the North Coast of Spain. There are some stunning places to visit top left as you look at the map. Hopefully all green heading back with a cheap antigen test before crossing back.

That's been my experience of France & Spain too . I don't think that just applies to the UK.

I would agree that France has become more expensive over the last few years but Spain is a lot cheaper than both Spain and the UK with some fantastic places to visit and well worth a long trip in a M'home.

True, in as much as that it's not just the UK that's expensive, but my statement stands, and my experience is motor homing in France or Spain is not anywhere like as expensive as the UK.
And the big plus point Europe in general is geared up for motor homes, the UK is not comparably.

The crossings won’t accept NHS lateral flow tests. Has to be private ones with a document (paper or digital) showing your details, test date/time & a negative result.
I live in North Wales and it is so overcrowded, can’t wait to get to France and Spain
