Polite request can we not just presume everyone lives in England the links you have given are for England alone and has very different info than for example Scotland. Just helps not to cause unnecessary confusion 😊

Sorry, fair point. Used to live in Wales many years ago but that was before the devolved powers came into being so it hadn't registered properly

Thanks. It's just the advice and processes in Scotland are quite different and have found people are picking up from English and Scottish links causing confusion or are just reading English info which doesn't apply up here.
