I found the UK passport requirements more strict than the application for citizenship, In the end, I gave up and decided just to stay in the country for the foreseeable future. As for those ghastly photos, my head turns into a solid block and I look like Max Headroom's sister. Hubby says they are for biometric recognition. I think they are a means of torture and humiliation. Sorry about the rant. I do feel your pain, honestly I do. ; )xDebs Dust Bunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531253622708240031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681775564258628407.post-66342309464648868132015-03-14T02:36:47.756-07:002015-03-14T02:36:47.756-07:00Grrrrrrrrrr!!!Grrrrrrrrrr!!!JOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03127111575563904349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681775564258628407.post-17311139662227769752015-03-14T02:17:28.177-07:002015-03-14T02:17:28.177-07:00Maybe they they thought if you looked like passpor...Maybe they they thought if you looked like passport pic you're too ill to travel?...*chortle*...Lynn Gerrardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18061020895933480996noreply@blogger.com
