She asked me to write that I was born in XXXXX and that the application form and passport website didn't ask for a document with my place of birth on it at lodgement. Did that and she was happy. My better half also did this with another bod at the postoffice later that day. They said it was a new process 
At least once it is lodged the online tracker works pretty well.
I saw in the herald that the PO lost 900 applications for a few weeks then found them in a bag in the corner of a room the other day.

It's as if nowt has happened
I once saw someone go to one of those self serve buffet meals on a posh ship.
As they went to serve themselves, they lost hold of their serving tongs, and as the tongs flew into the air they fell into a large dish of bolognaise sauce.
The sauce cascaded down the head, face and posh dress of the person stood behind him and the guy who caused the furo was completely oblivious and carried on completely unaware of the chaos
He then went on to drop his pudding from his tray, knocking someones drink all over them as he passed their chair...and tripping a few times on the way to his table.
He was just like Leonard Rossiter and Joan Collins in the drink advert.
AND he was real.
He was like that the whole of the holiday and I used to want to sit near him cos he was free entertainment.
I hope you stick around Ivan.

My midwife went on a mini cruise thing and absolutely hated it - she went for breakfast with no shoes on and a vest top and they asked her to put some footwear and clothes on before she came to the dining room
