Just had a text from HM Passport office telling me it takes 3 weeks to renew a passport.

@emsquared Sounds iffy. Are there ducks in the area?

@emsquared If sending it off and not paying to jump the queue it can take that long.

There are a number of 'companies' around who will offer to get your passport sorted for a fee. Its easier to apply for a new passport yourself on line rather than paying someone to do it for you. : https://www.gov.uk/renew-adult-passport/renew

@JackTheCat There are *always* ducks in the area. They control the horizontal and the vertical (that's a dated reference isn't it? A long time since you saw the vertical hold on a telly go bananas) and probably the dodgy sms too.
-
@steverocky Yes. That's what the text linked to. Must be legit. Can't remember getting a text reminder like this before.

@emsquared I'd stay in forever or steal a bus and go on a one-man duck rampage.

@Black_Flag It's a year of inconvenient renewals. Just done me driving licence (when I no longer own a car). Now me passport (when it's highly unlikely I'll be going abroad). Life's little admin inconveniences.

@emsquared Hello, this is Evri I have a purcell for you.
Yeah I'd be suspicious.

@JackTheCat Is it wrong that I sang that to The Sweet's Teenage Rampage?

@emsquared I sent my driving licence back (no more car) and my passport ran out in 2019.
Actually, I can't officially prove who I am any more.

@tiredhorizon Well i'd know that was an outright lie. If they did have a package for me then I'd know they'd soon lose it again.

@emsquared I do that frequently when accessing my bank account.

@Black_Flag That's not a bad thing. I've spent my "life" endlessly falling off official lists. Started with school registers (over several schools), officialdom, NHS, DVLA, NI...kept waiting for the kid from 6th sense to show up telling me only he could see me (which would have been amazing in junior school as thet film was yet to be made).

@emsquared I knew a bloke that worked for TNT. His team got filmed by the local news undercover where guys were punting and kicking, playing cricket with people's parcels. I dont believe he was a part of it but the whole team got sacked.

@tiredhorizon That's thr trouble with so many of these delivery outfits. Paying peanuts actually does attract a few monkeys.

A Henry! Always wanted a vacuum cleaner.

@lionelb @tiredhorizon The worst parcels are the ones that say exactly what's in them. The temptation is clearly too strong for some. All those hijacked Henry's.
