Yeah, I do question the efficacy of personal test administration, also of reliability of proof of negative testing.

You need to stick it really far up your nose, and if you wanted a negative result to go travelling, couldn't you just not do that? Or do only professionally administered tests count?

For travelling it's official PCR tests (which you the traveler pay for) but for some events it seems its been simply submitting a negative test on the .gov website. And on that you simply click "negative" on the page where it asks for your test result.

Of course asking for evidence would be pointless too. Simply don't swab yourself and just drip the fluid straight on the test kit.

LFTs should not be used as proof of anything, but can be useful for testing yourself (and kids) as even if it only catches a percentage of positive cases, if you are asymptomatic and it stops you spreading it then it's worth it.
