Tam and Toby ~~ Hunting Zorba .....Take two.

Can’t remember now but did you say you got your passport stamped at some point but when was that. Obviously not entering Italy or France because that’s Schengen. And why would the UK stamp it. Did the French stamp on leaving France for some reason ?
Yes it was stamped by the french leaving
 
Yes it was stamped by the french leaving
Hmm....so presumably passport will be stamped each time you enter or leave the Schengen Zone....then they can tot up all the entries and leaves and decide to let you in on the rolling 90/180 rule. There’s gonna be a lot of mental arithmetic going on at the borders going forward when Brits are allowed to travel...it’s not a simple as adding up number of days in 180...it’s a rolling 180...they will have to tot up all the days and count backwards from your last entry. Perhaps it is all digital and the computer program will work it out...I wonder...
 
They'll probably use something like this:

Well yes but they will have to put in all the dates you have entered and left...I’m not saying they can’t but I can see some queues building up...

Like they ever bother about queues ...they go at a snail pace as it is

All the data regarding entry and exit from Schengen is stored on their computer systems they will know exactly when you entered or left when they scan your passport into their system. As it is for most countries in the world, whether it’s the UK, Schengen, USA, Australia or China. All these procedures have been in place for years, mostly in response to terrorism threats.

Yes but will they still have to work out the days left by totting them all up and then counting backwards 180 days or will they sit there with their phone and a little app and put all the dates in and then in my case and maybe other people’s cases subtract the days I have spent in Greece because I have residential status there.
How will they do that because Greece is in Schengen but they don’t stamp my passport when I enter from outside Schengen because of my EU Biometric Greek residential card (tested that already)...I could say I have spent any amount of time in Greece....unless they record each entry and exit point individually for each country I travel to....so if for instance I turned up at the French border and they see I have spent 4 months in Schengen and I say yes but 3 months of it was in Greece and show my Greek Biometric card what will they do.

EU rules are that I MUSN’T spend more than 90 Days in rolling 180 and Greek Rsidential rules are that I MUST spend at least 6 months in Greece otherwise I lose my Greek residential status after 5 years...🙄
 
A very boring , tedious neck and back breaking job today ...not to mention the bleeding knuckles and scratches and cuts as i scrape and cut all the sikaflex from the roof joists and scrape some of the glue and remnants of insulation off the inside of panels ... But it does make a difference and im about half way.

Front done

Will those fit ok without much modification?
Well at the moment theres no passenger seat as the floor is a step ...but ill be cutting all that out and putting the floor back to standard van style ...then the double seat will bolt through the new floor so thats fine. The driver seat im unsure yet but as it has a steel lift up lid on the base ... worse case scenario i have to weld new runner supports to it. But i might be lucky and mercedes may use the same seats in varios and sprinters ...havent checked yet ...but both isri drivers seats. I'll make them fit 😁
