@zAndy1 how? Which passport office? Who did you bribe? What sexual favours did you dispense?
I might quote your turn around time in my complaint about the handling of my application, since I’ve been told its going to take another 5 weeks for my standard renewal, which puts it precisely 1 week after the absolute latest date I require my passport for and which I have told them multiple times, thanks HMPO. Can’t tell if its incompetence or maliciousness.
