        I don't bother with abroad. My passport expired about six years ago, and I've never even thought of renewing it. TBH I don't bother going anywhere much. I think the last time I went away for pleasure for more than a couple of nights was to the Lakes about eight years ago - a whole four nights!

          I once managed seven months after a lucrative year in London, and felt much better for it

            Huh, how about that...I get asked for my passport before every gig

            I need to get away and remind myself that the sun does shine and there are different cultures elsewhere in the world...

              I'd have stayed in the north otherwise

                Agents ask for mine, and I explain I only have an expired one and send them a scan of that, and they're quite happy with it. I think they just want to be able to put it in a file and tick the box; they know nobody will ever check it

                    There are worse places to stay. The Congo, for example
