My son who manages a PCR testing team, says they were told that the nose only LFTs were originally intended for use on children as being less invasive, and are not as accurate.
I think you should use the type of test you have as the instructions direct.

My husband has just recovered from Covid. He works in the NHS and so had to still have a confirmatory PCR, when he got his (very weak) first positive LFT.
The day after said LFT, he had two negative LFT…then strongly positive LFT for about a week after.
The last two days of testing positive, he mainly had a stuffy nose, so tested just in his nose with one test and just in his throat with another - not surprisingly, the nose test remained positive, whilst the throat test was negative.
@pansyface if you go to the COVID vaccination booking site, it asks you if you are clinically vulnerable etc and says you need to take a letter to the appointment. So it's a letter you're after - good luck.

I've just driven to the GC and back to take OH to work (he couldn't carry the cake on his bike). I saw many people wearing masks, even in the open air ... we met a bus and the driver had his mask on ... and a chap who looked a good 80 years old was pedalling his bike up the street with his mask on ....... if he can ride a bike up an incline with a mask on there's no excuse for anyone ...

Just back from the supermarket and was reassured that about 70% of people were still wearing masks.
Same here yesterday, but that was daytime on a Friday and mostly older people in there (and in B&Q, and in the library!). I've noticed less mask-wearing later in the day and at weekends.

About 30/70 for mask wearers in Asda & Lidl this morning. No distancing of course (hasn't been since Xmas) and even less applying sanitiser as they walk in so the fact that less than half have a mask on is a bit irrelevent.
