You're a caution, Mr N!
A great and helpful explanation, Kev - and absolutely spot on, as far as I can see. I had the free port test and the waiting time wasn't too bad. I think when we're all there in September it will be ok, fingers crossed. There was no problem at all with that test when I checked in at JSI - and that's the only time it was asked for. Unless it is magically on the UK system through our passport numbers
My son and wife (who are there at the moment) had their free test at the port yesterday, as they fly home tomorrow. They arrived at about 9.30 am and there was already quite a queue. Rob said he was standing in the sun for about an hour. However, this is probably because the medical centre had no available appointments yesterday and the island was extremely full this weekend (a special holiday on 15th). Someone in the queue said they heard that the medical centre had run out of tests! Once they had been tested they went to Mythos for a cold drink and were very surprised to receive the results in less than half an hour. It's all really efficient.
I'll ask them if you have to have separate email messages - I would imagine so.
I did my Day 2 test at Manchester Airport - a drive thru one with Collinson, which cost £63. It was slightly expensive, but dead easy and only a 20 min each way drive for me on a Friday afternoon. I got the results through next day. (I justified the cost as I'd had the free one in Skiathos!)
ADDENDUM: Rob just texted to say that one email address is fine
