Why would you need ongoing health care for Diabetes? Either you adjust your diet or just keep taking the toxic drugs.

I found this interview full of useful information.

You can also have an office service which provide small businesses various services including a physical address which can be used for receiving mail. There are all kinds of those around UK oft times at the places which allow you to pack and ship parcels I have noticed. What about when the boat is in one spot, where one pays a small fee. Don't the services provide you with an actual address in such instances? This seems advisable.

Hmm... Perhaps once Amazon get those drone deliveries working...!!

Here in the state there are commercial storefronts that rent mailboxes that are right in the store. I would imagine there should be something similar there in the UK if not Business opportunity for someone in the UK
I used on for four years and simply gave as my address as (example) 479 example road apt 642 the 642 was the mailbox number I found it was far less questions by doing it that way.instead of commercial mailboxes 2848 brook ins avenue Manchester, New Hampshire box 492 .
That type of address always was questioned whereas the former was not. -
and your post adress can be a email adress

you got travel ensurrence or boat ensurrence thats included your inside of the boat

Awesome video. - From my view, I would say a PO Box is the a very good option as you can write the box number as a "flat" number, so in respect of all the black & white systems and box ticking, you get a physical address. Many people also require a landline number, you can get one through Skype or through a website, which either gives you a regional number or a London (020) style number and you can have that directed to your mobile or second mobile, but the caller will not see the directed service, which is fine because it works out well, as they are calling a landline at landline cost and it comes to your "cordless phone" - beauty of it getting it through Skype is, if you are travelling abroad, you just log on to WiFi open Skype and you will still get that phone coming through, which is a lot better as if it comes to your mobile you end up paying a LOT of money.
Probably repeating myself here, but it is a good idea to have one address, especially with driving licence and insurance as anything out of black and white and they get bemused. Which takes too long to explain basics to them.
Love all your videos. - Warm regards. D^P -
I wonder how difficult it would be to obtain a Passport when you are living "under way" so to speak?

Jasmin your hair looks banging!!!!
Also, did you get my thank you card I sent to your parents address? 😁 -
Well good Cheers,

I really can't believe that this is still 'an issue' these days. It would not be a monumental task to setup some manner of a "Mobile Person Address" system for packages and the like by using a PIN of some kind. Log in online and update your 'current location' as needed as you move about, and stuff gets routed along to a suitable pickup location. Someone sending you something then just has to address it to "Person at MPA-[pin]" and stuff gets shipped like any other mail.

I asked this question months ago..... but what about credit and finance references ?

PO Boxes need an address to be linked to

A couple of other suggestions that might suit some people.
Royal Mail offer a fabulous Post Restante service. You can give the address of any UK post office and collect an item of post from there. Ideal for an occasional item. It's a free service too.
http://www.postoffice.co.uk/mail/poste-restante
There are also post forwarding services. They will open, scan and email you all post that arrives. You can then have the hard copy forwarded via Post Restante if you need it. This is obviously a paid for service but it has the advantage of giving you a permanent genuine geographic address rather than a POBox. One example is http://www.boatmail.co.uk but there are others.
Hope that helps. -
Thanks for making this video. I've always wondered about this. Even on a residential mooring, post can be an issue sometimes. On voting, if you register as homeless, which council or constituency will they assign you?
-
very informative + just to reinforce on voting an elections officer MUST allow you to register and my advice is if they obstruct you ring up the local MP and say you want to vote for them (even if you don't) and magically the obstruction will disappear. On forms etc even though I have a home address and a home mooring I tear my hair out with this (can be away from home for extended periods so don't want mail piling up unanswered) - email me, I tell officialdom, don't use the post! who on earth sends out letters in this day & age? I can be a bit Bolshie about all of this because I'm Chair of my local party (yes - we have the MP and Councillors round my way) and I'm on a few Council Committees so if I'm ever messed about address wise I pull rank and say 'there's a problem - now go away and solve it!'

This video is an depth answer to a Question I had from Kristy Nel, and often am asked: how is my life affected by not having an address? what things that most people take for granted is much more difficult when you live on a boat? gas , electricity, water, voting, registering for a GP, work, hair cuts, tax, bank account, camera insurance, ect. these answers are specific to Continues cruisers as home moorers do have an address.
