Ive lost my passport, so ive been applying for a new one ... but as my countersignature took so long to sign it, its now 10 days before i go on holiday and ive still not sorted my passport out. My only option is to take it 3 hours away up to Durham on Monday and get it sent off and get it back within a week ... however i travel on the following Monday .... so looks like ill get my passport in the morning at 11 .. when im suppose to leave at 3am!! Unless the passport office will get it to me sooner ... it looks like i might aswell forget my holiday ............. grrrrrrrrr this is the worst day ever :'(
It's usually less than a week for the 'guaranteed' service of one week. I applied (at Newport) on a Friday and it was delivered the following Tuesday at around 8am by courier.
And the passport office was on strike on the Friday...
