9 days from application to receiving passport, well done HMPO Peterborough! Let's hope I get documents back soon as I've booked a flight to Australia next Thursday :shock:
Well I had to fly undocumented to Australia but I made it and in hotel quarantine now. Thanks for all the help over the years to everyone, signing off now :)
