I was in my local police station this morning, on the second visit in the process of replacing my stolen resident card. Today was handing the completed forms in, with neccesary copies, more photos (3 this time - they must have over five thousand pictures of my boat race accrued during the last fifteen years!). I make my third visit next Tuesday when I fingerprint and sign and finally the fourth and last visit in a couple of months when I finally pick up the replacement.
So Connie, I can assure you that at least the working Brits are still beating a well worn path to the cop shop to get their cards, as to whether the citizens of the countries you mentioned that had signed an accord are still doing so, I couldn't tell you.
