Show Notes
Many of us are digging out our passports again only to discover that they're not valid for as long as we thought. The Home Office is reporting an 'unprecedented' surge of applications for passports, creating a backlog that risks ruining holiday plans for some this summer. I talk you through the problem, how it's not being helped by either the government or the airlines as they grapple with Brexit rules and how you can avoid the delays and have that holiday.
