Passport photo is supposed to be a picture of your face, thought everyone knew that?

Note that in the story neither the Passport Office nor the Post Office accept that it's their policy to refuse such photos. So all this is because of one stupid woman behind the counter.

Doubtless this won't stop a thousand people now reiterating the statement that the Passport Office refuse such photos and this country has gone PC mad <sigh>

Never let the facts get in the way of a good rant.

OK I stand corrected. Hardly the end of the world though is it?
Can't really see why such a fuss is being made.

mines run out too so need a new one. Do you need to send your expired passport back with the application form too?
