I cant wait sadly as , health willing, I fly to Spain in mid march and France in April..... and the only window I have to get a new passport is now!If you wait until the end of March you will get a shiny new blue one
Bearing in mind that the new UK. Passport after Brexit will be made in FranceIf you wait until the end of March you will get a shiny new blue one
then there might be logistic problems getting it over the Channel first.
There is a Dutch company named Van Oord who have a contract to dredge the silt out of Ramsgate port, which they are doing. The minimum estimated cost is £400,000, but it could rise to £4 M. The District Council have not awarded the contract and neither has the County Council. The ill fated Seaborne Freight have no money, so where has this money come from? Seaborne Freight were investigated by management consultants Mott MacDonald, who described them as a "significant execution risk". They shared in a £800,000 pot of money to do reports on Brittany Ferries, DFDS and Seaborne. Despite warnings Grayling went ahead and awarded them a £13.8 M contract.
Grayling has told the Commons that cancelling the contract with Seaborne has not cost the taxpayer any money. By my reckoning it has cost the taxpayer at least £600,000, and what have they got for it? He is now due in court for failing to follow the correct tendering procedures and the cost of defence lawyers has been put at £800,000.
All of this is due to "emergency measures". Until Brexit came along there was no emergency.

Anyone who doesn't want a blue passport has until September as the new ones will not be available until October.

I'm looking forward to my blue passport after Freedom Day.
It is becoming patently clear the spanner in the works whilst negotiating with the EU has been Olly Robbins. The PM needs to sack him a.s.a.p. He has consistently undermined each Brexit Minister and is clearly a retainer trying to sabotage a proper Brexit. The PM must also take responsibility for keeping this oaf in his position for far too long.
I thought you were going to talk about old Failing for a moment. Perhaps you would like to flesh out your comments about Olly Robins. It seems to me that he has actually worked rather hard, rather more than was obvious with Davis.
Oh your very patriotic 'made in France' blue passport
Apparently the new version no longer has 'Honi Soit Qui Maly Pense' on it, or even 'Dieu Et Mon Droit'. Apparently it is now 'Mater tua criceta, et pater tuo redoluit bacarum sambacus fidemque' ! I think they use Latin, if not the French would be 'Ta mere etait un hamster et ton pere sentait les baies de sureau' (I can't get some of the French letters on my computer) I'm sure that Frenchie can translate !

Sadly I had to renew mine last SeptemberAnyone who doesn't want a blue passport has until September as the new ones will not be available until October.
Can you translate OFH please, the only word I understood was cricket a fine british invention.
I would have thought that the Brexit Ministers needed little help in undermining, they seem to have the knack of doing it to themselves. Lazy was the least offensive description of the first one, the second one didn't understand how much trade went through Dover, and the current one doesn't even know who he is speaking to. Ministers of the Crown! Shameful.
There have been several speculations about the game's origins including some that it was created in France or Flanders around 1300. The earliest references to it in England are a couple of hundred years later.

Freedom in this instance is totally perception... Politically and economically the average person will see little gain.. Maybe [emoji225] into rights.. And more hassle.. Like our freedom to travel will be more restricted, E 111 out the window, mobile access etc.
No one will be any freer in their lives than before..
