    Tommy,

     

    I did an application on line and my experience was similar. Civil service efficiency!

    I was just surprised, since it wasn't that long ago there were a lot of press reports about how long it was taking people to get a new 1. 

    10 weeks was the time the website said it could take, but with mine only being a renewal that would have speeded things up.

    Around 10 Million is to be spent on the ground to bring it up to Premier league standard, and they still plan to move to a new ground in a few years.

    More money than sense in the big boys league.

    Nah. They fast tracked your application to get you out the country. 

    One way ticket mate! 😂 

    With the weather forecast for the next 2 weeks not so good, I pray you are right  😂

  4. Decided to renew my passport since it would have been close to being expired by the time of my next holiday. 

    Wed, 14th June, applied online.

    Thurs, sent my old 1 away.

    Mon,  text saying they have received my old 1.

    Tues, text saying they have approved my application.

    Wed, text telling me has been printed and will be transferred to their delivery supplier soon.

    Thursday, new passport delivered.

    Wife who applied at the same time got her on Friday. 

    Was told it online it would be up to 10 weeks  😂

    Can't believe it i got it so quick just prior to the busy holiday time. 

    Maybe the UK Gov is going something right at the moment  😜

  5. A new built in Renfrew (Deanfield) in 1983 was around 34K for a 3 bed semi with garage that would have been around 4 times my annual wages.

    Where i live now, a new build 3 bed semi without garage, is around 285K which would have been 7 times my annual wages if i was still working. 

    I think a lot of the problem is most people are now paying for things that didn't exist many years ago like mobile phones, internet, sky etc.

    Also think there is a lack of patient with young people wanting the big family house right away, instead of working their way up to it.
