My son emailed and said the truth, he’s had 2 very stressful years with his exams and going for a football scholarship and as a reward for all his success we had booked this holiday for him and if he doesn’t get his passport he’s the only one in the family who can’t go on holiday which was very depressing and stressing him more than the previous 2 years… All of which was true….I really do hope you get as lucky as us because we know exactly what your going through and it is not nice at all!!!
