Ipods and mobile phones are not allowed at the US Embassy London

[PlatyPius 5]

I don't think anyone has a problem with the embassy policy, just with the rudeness of the poster who... was rude

Yeah, I was a little rude. (For me it's only a little...) For that I apologize. I really shouldn't even be on VJ right now. I'm stressing about the diet, stressing about the weather, stressing about part of our roof going away, AND trying to keep from being really rude and blasting "a certain person" with all of the hate and venom that they deserve. It was that person who put me in a crappy mood today. As I said, I should have stayed away from VJ...then I wouldn't have been in such a bad mood.

Anyway, while the OP had no need to explain to me why he needed his cell phone, he did so anyway and I feel like a ####### for going off on one of my rants about people and their attachment to gadgets. So, I apologize to the OP.

I do NOT apologize to Mox. Whether I was a d!ckhead or not, it isn't his/her/its place to tell me what or how to post. That ability is limited to LaL, Mags, William, and Ewok ONLY.

Sorry to hear about your crappy day. I hope it gets better. Really.

There a feature on VJ called "ignore" - you should try it some time!

Same in Moscow too!

Well, let me tell you that I think is a general rule for all countries. I guess is a general regulation.

Here in Dominican Republic is the same. They won´t allow you to get in with those items.

In the Philippines too... And the security there will not keep any of your valuables including all electronics devices. So it's either leave it at home/hotel, or have somebody with you to keep your things while waiting outside the embassy's premises.

Same in Argentina. I had my phone, MP3 player, and a lighter that I had to leave with security at the entrance. They were fine and safe when I went to pick them up again.

Saludos,

No worries here mate! For me I just imagined my fiancée without the capability of receiving a call from me or needing assistance at one of the most pivotal times in this journey. We're all good now.

Try not to stress the little things, all will get better, Platy ahh, err, Rocinante.

I had my interview of tuesday and i am now approved

I took my phone nad my ipod and a bag and I was let in without a problem. They gave me a little bag to put my electronics in and I had to hand them in to a guard on entry and then pick them up when leaving. It was easy not 1 problem

Thanks to everyone
