Passports WFT!
Until now I have always managed to get a replacement passport or renewal the same day or within a few days by post. After getting photos done to the latest specification and sending it via the Post Office checking service; it took four weeks! There were no replies to my online enquiries about the status, and it seems to have taken ten days to get to me since it was issued.
The new way of printing makes the photo of me look like a Madame Tussauds wax head of a dark skinned Bob rather than an Anglo Saxon. It may work (unlikely) on automatic scanning but anywhere else in the world they will be expecting a Bob.
