Major f*ckup on the passport/post office front.

Which is exactly who messed up for starters, along with a signaturee and the Passport office saying that me and my brother definetly don't need interviews. We do.

However, going absolutely ape sh!te at the office got us an interview spot Monday with a passport in 8-10 days should the interview go OK. :grin:

Nope, will be in time. The actual main place is a total crap excuse for a company. Not willing to help at all, thinking that they've got you by the bollocks. As did the Peterborough branch until you go ape, then three phone calls back within 2 hours and all is sorted. :cool:
