Passport office

[Corvid]

I admit I can be a tad grumpy every now and again. One of the things I often grump about is government bureaucracy. I applied for my replacement passport online last Sunday and posted my old one to them on the Monday.

My new one arrived today. Well done Passport office. A replacement passport in a week. Great service, credit where credit is due. No grump from me.

Corvid.

Said something very similar last time I renewed. Mind you, that was making it a stark contrast to another branch of the state messing me about.

I know. Bloody infuriating, isn't it? And my driving licence renewal came through in three days, and they managed to grab the latest picture of my bonce from my passport records. Not a glitch anywhere. Disgusting.

Me too - last year my passport was back within two weeks, so I then did my DL photocard and the new one dropped through the door before I had logged the computer off!

Hmmm, is it really bitter or is it, to quote the Snug's descriptive mandate, "light-hearted"? Intended as whimsical, anyway. Apols if that wasn't clear.

Sorry BJ, I left off the smiley

My response was meant to be a light-hearted response to your clearly whimsical post.

Are people taking me too seriously, is the the moderator hat?

Whatever it is, it's affected your speech. Could the the hat be too tight?
