I bought 3 bottles of washing detergent last week. When i got home I realised the girl on the till had only charged me for 2. I didn't go back to pay for the other one. Should I hand myself in? (obviously it's still on my mind and I'll have to take it to the grave)
 
This will push the cost of some travel insurance up, as using the EHIC card was the first option for many insurance companies.

Just as I suspected. For older people this might make travelling to mainland Europe costly, as they may not be covered for age-related items. Another downside of the goat-**** which is Brexit

Because of my wife’s disclosed illness, our insurance is already sky high, plus we need a doctor’s letter confirming fitness to fly, which must be given no more than 6 weeks ahead of an outward flight.
God only knows what it will cost next time.
 
The one good thing about the EHIC story is, at least we can start recouping the money that tourists to Britain rack up. I spoke to a lady a while back who worked in a department that deals with that, and she reckoned that about 5% of money owed got paid. A truly shocking and damning stat. It works both ways Europe.

did she mention the stats the other way? Does the UK pay 100%? is it written on a bus?
 
What do you think? I had to take my Mrs to hospital in Spain, they never asked for the E11, they wanted my credit card. I imagine after the private payment and insurance the sneaking buggers put a claim in! I wasn't impressed......if you hadn't guessed.

did you have an EHIC card? (like a credit card with the EU flag on the front)The E11 died out years ago

When ever I have been in Europe if either my wife or myself had the need for a hospital we automatically paid by credit card. Even though we showed them the E11 card or whatever it’s called these days. Although in fairness I was able to claim most back from my insurers. (After the standard charges were taken out)
