An example: On a visit to the UK with my two daughters, driving a car with Swiss number plates, I was asked by passport control to 'pull over.' They took our passports away and we almost missed the ferry. When, at the last minute they returned our passports, I asked what the problem was. 'We couldn't understand why 3 British citizens were in a Swiss car.'
'You could have asked. Oh, and by the way, all 3 passports were issued by the British Consulate in Switzerland. And that is on the passports. That could have given you a clue'
