I see the government has flushed something nasty down the pan. Now for the rest.
What a bunch of shameless rotters, they will pay dearly in the end, which can't come too soon!!

Well they still have about eighteen months to go - time enough for them to do more damage to the country.Quote:

I may be disgusted with the present Government, but I have to praise the Civil Service.
Some time ago I had to renew my driving licence - did it all on-line and the new photo plastic licence was supplied within about a week, and at no cost to me at all. :)
This time I needed to renew my passport. I could have done it all online, but in having to supply new photographs, I decided to make a postal application. Well again the service was very fast; the new passport ariving in just under two weeks after posting off the application. The only difference was that in total it cost me £107.
So now I have a new black passport, the same size as the old maroon EU ones, but one which is less versatile! :doh:
Good to hear, my passport is almost ready for renewal. Do you have any plans for your new passport Barry? I haven't been out of the country since before Covid.
I don't understand, how is it 'less versatile'?Quote:

dont have one now. my last one ran out and i just left it as that. no place i want to go anyway..
OK, so 'versatile' was not the best adjective to use; I couldn't think of anything more appropriate when I posted. Thinking about it, 'less convenient' would have been a better choice of words. What I meant to imply is that since the new passport is not an EU passport, I won't be able to use the quick route through passport control when I visit any European country.Quote:

You always have leave four pages free, so that means only 6 pages for EU stamps.
The old hardback passports were better (though I don't think they were of 20 year duration); holding one often expedited matters more efficiently.
