I've just sent both my English and French passports off to the Passport Office, which means I'm stuck here in Blighty until UKPO have done their stuff (keep up the good work, chaps!).

Still, at least it will be easy to tell the two apart when my new UK passport arrives: blue when I'm feeling monarchist, red when my republican side comes to the fore.

God save the King! 🇬🇧

Vive la France ! 🇫🇷

A quick update. My British #passport arrived 10 (calendar) days after I sent the old one off, and the French passport would have returned 6 days after that if not for the Royal Mail strike. That's pretty good service from the UK #PassportOffice I reckon. Thank you.
