QuoteI'm a Canadian with Australian citizenship also, but was born in Scotland (left when I was three). About 5 years ago, I decided on a trip to Canada planning to use my Australian passport in and out. Quite by accident a month before I left, I found out that Canada had changed its entry rules a few months previously to me requiring a Canadian passport to enter the country as seems to be required for UK citizens entering Britain now. I picked up my freshly minted Canadian passport at the Canadian High Commission here in Canberra and asked the officer how would Canadian Immigration know I was Canadian as my listed POB is Glasgow. He replied that 'they just know'. In other words, passports or not, the system keeps track of you. This begs the question as to whether this extra passport requirement may be a revenue raising exercise.

@Webbo So does that mean you also qualify for a Glaswegian passport?

Sorry, to clarify, in view of Kisojiji's post:
My wife can travel to the UK on her New Zealand passport with an ETA.
I also have a NZ passport, which is what I have been travelling on for many decades as I nearly always travel with her. I eventually decided some years back that it wasn't worth renewing the UK passport in view of this.
The point is that as I am also a UK citizen, they will now not allow me to travel on my NZ passport, even if I have already got a valid ETA.
I haven't as yet tried the process of getting a new UK passport myself, but I understand that it can be quite a hassle, especially if your last one expired more than 10 years ago.

Strange about the passport thing, especially about your wife being able to enter with an ETA.

US requires passport for all, AFAIK.

Oh, glad I saw this thread as my passport expires this year...

So far they have refused to show me any of the evidence they have.

Guilty until proven innocent. Or guilty by public opinion. Going trends.

They're 2, the other being 'Going up the country'

Redline are not to my taste but I do rather like Canned Heat and like you, I had a few singles back in the day.
On The Road again and Let's Work Together were, and still are, favourites.

They got a very brief mention in this thread in 2017 but I really like their 1960s stuff so I present for your delectation............ (one of 3 x 45s I have of theirs)

Another piece of rock, but with add footage of the wonderful TT races

New Black Label Society is always good news and this one is a banger. Definitely more than a hint of Ozzyness around it especially given Zakk Wylde's ability to do Ozzy style vocals (unsuprisingly given he played with Ozzy for a long time)
