Buggers at passport office

[quackhandle]

What over three days now and no NLUK to say "are you sure your cut out to be a contractor taking some time away from invoicing clients? Of which you should be really invoking your right of substitution."

Some mistake shirley.

[original PM]

Has this stopped them strapping bombs to themselves?

Strangely enough no it has not.

[Sysman]

Has this stopped them strapping bombs to themselves?

Maybe the real reason for scrapping the Post Office ones was to curb trips to France to pick up cheap booze.

Wasn't Primarolo involved with that somewhere along the line?

It's stopped them strapping un-official bombs to themselves, now they use the ones with the BSI safety certification.

Waiting to apply for a passport with only 6 weeks before the holiday and it's gone Pete Tong? Nothing really to say about that is there.

[darmstadt]

yeah its those tory cuts ....


would have never have happened under labour, they would ensure only rich people could go abroad

Nah, it started under Labour:

It has not been possible to add a child to an adult's passport since 6 October 1998. However, children who are already included in their parents' passports can continue to travel on these passports until they reach the age of 16 or the passport expires.

So if your child was basically born around that time then they're now reaching 16 and so need to get their own passport. This was a change bought in by the Labour government to make money from passports (oh, I believe parts of it were also semi-privatised.) This might also explain why all his kids have Irish passports
