Applying for a new one her photograph was rejected due to, quote "a slight reflection on the spectacles you are wearing". Now I had to get a powerful magnifying glass and the services of our forensics lab to see this face marring glint in her glasses but the jobsworths at the passport office would not listen. When my wife pointed out that even if she had a new photo taken there was the chance that the same thing would happen she was told tough and when she enquired if she could remove her glasses..."Ooooo! Nooooo! It would not be a true representation of your face!". Damned if you do, damned if you don't.<BR/><BR/> My description of them comes down to one word.
