Be warned don't be a Banana !!!!!! Please read
My wonderful and dynamic, very own Banana Man, decided as he was in London to take our passports personally to get the visa stamp.
I posted them to him at work by recorded delivery. He recieved them this morning and armed with them and a SAE he bravely took on London.
I wasn't too sure it was the right thing to do and suggested we posted them as stated.
But oh no ! the Banana man thinks he knows best and I think secretly felt like it was a big adventure and more of an event if he took them personally.
However upon arrival he was informed that Australia House don't do them over the counter anymore, wouldn't even let him drop them off. They have to be sent recorded delivery with a SAE special delivery envelope.
Crest fallen and denide the excitement of doing it in person, he had a mooch around London and then went on to his 4pm appointment, the reason he was in London.
So be warned everyone out there. Listen to the Mrs, you know it makes sense.

I'm sorry that Mr Banana had a wasted journey to Oz house. Bet he enjoyed the pre visit excitement though, and as you said he was there for a meeting anyway. Did he hot foot it to the post office before coming home?
