Where I am, the PSB is closed at the weekend.

Just got my new RP approved. Paid 400 RMB for 180 days. Med not required, would have been if I'd have applied for 360 days, costing 800 RMB.

Had to do photos again, after 180 days - 25 RMB wasted in my view.
Will get passport back on 20th, applied on 20th, current RP valid until 7 July. Needn't my passport as I've no urgent travel plans. Of course, I have my receipt.

BTW, training centers are always seeking FTs. But I had never worked for any before my retirement.
hina still you must get bored surely
Thanks for that, I'll go now on Tuesday.

You have calculated well. How much did you save on the medical? I noticed on the PSB forms that the squares to stick the photos inside were smaller than passport size and for 1" photos. So i was accidentally right when i got ten 1" ones for our child for 10yuan at the next village. Although I am sure they would have accepted passport tesco photo booth 4 for 5 quid size. Those were the ones I brought from UK for myself.

Will you ever consider coming out of retirement and tying your horse outside that training centre. If you are in China still you must get bored, unless unlike me you speak the lingo? I imagine one could get fed up with constant reviewing of Dads Army and Minder?
