There are passport problems every year - mainly down to high demand and poor planning on the part of passport holders.
Yes there are strikes this year but that will only delay things slightly.
Advice hasn't changed over the last 10 years about not booking holidays until you have your new passport - as anything could go wrong (as I have experienced in the past personally)

When I renewed my passport last year there were horrendous tales of long, long delays. I went to the main post office for our area - and asked them to do it. Simple as that. It cost me about another £10-£15, but it included them taking the photograph which I would otherwise have had to pay for.
I took my old passport and lots of proofs of identity and residence (none of which were needed, but after living in France I got into the habit).
They took an approved photo, which verified it, filled in the form on
computer, by asking me the questions and zapped it all off.
I got a new passport a fortnight later.
At the time, I repeat, there were huge delays, but this made it so easy for them to issue.
So it is worth trying. Good luck.

//You can get months added - I did when I did my passport nearly 8 months//
Not any more, helen. I believe the rules changed in September 2018 and if you renew a passport now it expires on the tenth anniversary of its issue date. In any case, your added months are worthless if you are travelling to an EU country. They will not accept a passport if it is more than ten years old. So although you have had those months added to the expiry date, your passport will effectively become invalid (in the countries that make the stipulation) on the tenth anniversary of its issue.
