So how do you go about getting a passport really really fast when you realise you have been a feckless twat and just not bothered to sort it out?

What's wrong with journalists?

I wonder if it's because people on The List are more traceable than feckless psychologists / estate agents / bin men?

and MPs are obviously entirely trustworthy.

I got the landlord of my local boozer to sign mine

motherinferior I have signed a passport form as a journalist and the holders were allowed out of the country in due course

so it seems they do not actually view us as feckless, just not important enough to put on the list

I knew I would regret that as soon as I posted, MI! Anyway I don't think of you as a journalist, more as a, I don't know, erudite writer
but yes it is the most arbitrary and peculiar list.
I note that a 'person with honours' counts - I guess the only way a dinner lady or crossing warden would qualify....

oh I see

I have missed the point

of course I was not reading the thread properly because I was doing something, erm, important

i think the post office will check them for a small fee.
