    My FFFFFFing Passport

    Well it just goes to show you doesn't it. I had an appointment for Tuesday for a replacement passport but cancelled it. I had to wait an extra 4 days to get a copy of my birth certificate because some ****** in the call centre told me I would be turned away if I didnt turn up with it, only to wait four days to get it, drive 250miles round trip to Newport this morning, queue for 5 minutes and then be told 'Oh we dont need that - who told you that'

    I HATE CALL CENTRE ADVISORS. THEY ARE THE SCUM OF THE EARTH!!!

    Still take a week to get though. The only time you get it quick is renewals.

    I did tell you that you didn't need it.

      That's a coincidence. I've just got back from a holiday in Portugal where I met this woman whose husband had the same problem, and he thought he needed a birth cert as well. Actually, she'd burnt his passport so she could go and have a good time without him. Her child-minder was fit.

          Confused. She went on holiday with the child minder? Or left him with the child minder (and child?) Heard about male child minders, the so called mannies. Would anyone really trust their kid with a bloke? not sure I would.

          Or do you mean she was a lesbian?

              Who needs a passport to get into the UK?

              May sure you get sun burn on the beach in some overcrowded spanish beach, mumble something about racism in a non-English language, 'is it coz I is pink, and in you come, might even get a council house you could sell off, if you claimed to have come from zimbabwe.
