License revalidation/EASA/medical questions?

[Zonkor]

If a non-UK Examiner tries to be helpful and does sign your Ratings page it means Diddly Squat ! You might as well have got it signed by a child you bumped in to on the street.

Not that this will add much to the competent answer by Level Attitude, but I can confirm this from recent personal experience, giving me the doubtful benefit of a last-minute touristic trip to Gatwick.

I wish this was more widely known, especially since each Member State may introduce their own national rules governing administrative processes. So if one Competent Authority allows any EASA examiner to sign off a revalidation by experience, that doesn't mean anything in another Member State. Brave new world.
