Post Office

[JoshC]

What is it with the bloody Post Office?
I have been in the long process of getting a passort for a couple of weeks now and Post Office have just buggered it up. Firstly its cost me 70 quid to get which in my opinion is awful. Once I had everything together I went to the PO to post it off when they offered to check it for me for 7 pound (why is that so expensive too?) I thought I better as I'm going on holiday at Christmas and didn't want to take the risk of taking longer. They said everything was fine but i begrudgingly handed over my 7 pound and waited, today, 2 weeks later, I recieved a letter in the post saying that there is a mistake on my form and that i need to rectify it. :fury:

so if you ****ed it up how is that the Post Offices fault?

 

[Pubey]

to be honest Josh it's not the hardest thing in the world to do

I got them to check it they said it was fine and took my money and there was a mistake on it

Well you should have checked it yourself as well as asking them to check it. I mean before you shag a girl you always check her out you don't just f*ck her do ya!*

Nice analogy!

Josh, don't blame the PO for the cost of a passport, blame the Passport Office & the Government!

Do you ask them to complete a full medical before they're allowed anywhere near you? Bet that kills the passion..... (I sense thread diversion)....

Nope! Just don't be silly and protect your willy...

From post offices to sex education......fantastic......

Surely you can get your £7 back from the post office? The idea is they check it so errors dont occur. If it does have errors having been cleared as ok by the PO and you cant get your money back (atleast) whats the point in that....you might aswell just send it off and hope for the best....

You paid £7 or £70 to the PO then?
Or was it £63 for the renewal & £7 for the PO to check it.

Help, nurse, I'm a bit lost!

Thats more shocking than the diversion! ;)

I just reckon the fact that a Totty World Cup thread appeared and you went all silly and forgot yourself for a little while..

 

[South Bank Hank]

Josh, I can see what you're getting at mate.
If it had happened to me, I'd be furious about it.

:hilarious:

Substitute TWC for Interpol & you're probably about right!

S_S, recovered from your busy morning now have we? :p

70 pound for the passprt itself and 7 pound to check. I will be asking for a refund and will probably buy myself a burger king before work with the money
