    My son renewed his passport recently. It really is blue.

      I thought it was more of a very dark navy. I got mine in December last year.

        But it isn't black as the photos make it look.

            Ah. I get you. Yes, in photos and poor light it can look black.

                You know it always amuses me that your Avatar is based on a phrase popularised in WW2 while we were fighting Germany & France because of their Nationalism yet suggests we should re-join them in a project that is again showing their nationalism.

                    Petain, Laval & Vichy supplied conscripts and resources to Germanys war effort. They also rounded up and loaded Jews etc. onto railway cars. Repaired German ships and even defended Berlin.

                    The maquis were formidable but they were the resistance not the official government. Many of the French population were not enthusiastic supporters of the Germans, but quite a few were and the Vichy government were big fans which is why many of the French hated it so much.

                    It was sadly similar in a lot of occupied countries. You may have read SSGB and similar, I doubt just being British would have made all of us immune to being collaborators.
