The one before the one before the one before.....

.....the one before......now personally I've no immediate intentions of shipping foreign anytime soon but the boy-in-the-attic is heading off to France in a couple of weeks and needs to renew his passport......apparently 'they' need details of his mothers passport too (for goodness sake he's over 30, the umbilical cord is long cut!)....and guess what, I can't find it .....I'm sure it'll be filed somewhere 'safe'.......another weekend gone........

EDIT.....the form is also a visual nightmare (a pale orangey brown print on white with tiny lettering....hardly what you would class as 'accessible'!)......the 'notes' booklet is badly written too, full of legal jargon and dire warnings not to make a single mistake on pain of death....well, almost.....
