    Express

    I know the UK -passport office does do express passports , I know they do 48 hours but not sure about your timeframe

    You will pay through your ringpiece though :-(

    Phone them and see what you can do. If you say it was stolen they may be abloe to issue you with emregency travel docs

            Just say you sold it to an asylum seeker.

              Done that already. Its bollocks. Ring it and see what it does. Disgraceful.

                I've found you get it done in Newport Wales quicker. Three times I had passports issued on the same day. The last time it took three hours (passport lost in the post). London is far too busy. Give them a ring.

                    Hang on...., if you're going to a European country you can get a cardboard passport at the local post office, costs a few quid.

                    Only valid in certain countries but most holiday destinations are on it, valid for a few weeks I think.
