I'm getting ready to come back to Blighty after working abroad for 4 months (non-red list country). By law I have to get a PCR test on day 2 and day 8 after I land. No issue with this (although £210.00 seems a little steep) and then I can release myself from quarantine once I receive the results (assuming they're negative). What I don't understand is that I can "test to release" on day 5 (for another £125.00!!) so the boffins obviously think that after 5 days and a neg result you're safe to enter the real world so why are we having to bother with the day 2/8 process? By the way, even if I opt to "test to release" on day 5 I still have to complete the test on day 8. Coming home has never been so difficult!

I'm not usually a cynical man but at the prices they charge it seems like a bit of a money spinner and as you say Lidds, so many contradictory processes. Still coming from a dry country in time for the pubs to open makes it worthwhile!!

According to the BBC News website one of the suppliers of tests is reconsidering the prices they are charging as there have been so many complaints. Talk of the cost being reduced to £60?

Randox is the company offering the £60 test.
But initially you need to get a code from the airline you are travelling with to get it at that price.
