This morning I received my new passport, following my name change last month. In the envelope with the new passport and the usual collection of leaflets about safe travelling, I found the following compliments slip:
The slip reads:
Mr. Q,
Your passport has now been issued, as requested. I would advise you that due to your unusual surname, you may experience difficulties at Immigration Control when travelling. The Passport Service will take no responsibility for any problems incurred as the change of name is your own personal choice.
Kind regards;
[indecipherable signature]
Kinda cool.
“Don’t blame us if they strip-search you to death, you crazy-named fool”.
Congrats!
Cavity search anyone?
