I’m going to try to resist the urge to live tweet my attempts to get my daughter’s passport in person on the hottest day of the year but I can’t promise anything... #passportchaos
I am on a bus...
Absolute scenes at passport office #passportchaos
There’s a form but no pens #passportchaos
2 hours. In sight of the door... #passportchaos
A nice man just gave me one of his doughnuts #passportchaos
So close now. Sun is coming round. Getting hotter. #passportchaos
News crew here. Tempers are fraying. I can still touch the door... #passportchaos
I’m finally inside the building. Four hours. There was a flurry of bottled water and movement as the cameras arrived. I’m sure it was a coincidence #passportchaos
Ok. I’m out. No sodding passport. Have to wait for an email #passportchaos Not happy.
WE HAVE RECEIVED THE EMAIL. I REPEAT: WE HAVE RECEIVED THE EMAIL! #passportchaos My wife (not me apparently) can pick up the passport from 4pm today!
I have no idea whether anything I did made any difference but the email has now arrived.
She has it in her hands. Didn’t think I’d EVER be this pleased to see a blue bloody passport... #passportchaos
My #passportchaos story made it into The Independent… even if they have mis-pronouned me in the picture caption… independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…
