Must be. I sent off for a new passport two weeks ago. Last week I got a letter asking for a resigned declaration as they couldn't scan the original signature. So I sent that off and counted three weeks [the alleged turn around for a renewal] and realised it would be tight for delivery before Christmas putting our trip to Paris in jeopardy.
And now? Just got it delivered. ONE WORKING WEEK from sending off the resigned declaration and I've got my new passport.
With a UK Government agancy working like that, it can mean only one thing - the world is most definitely about to end.
[It's 'declaration' as in 'I declare' and not 'deceleration' as in 'I smash into a wall']

With "like that" do you mean so slow or so fast?

I see something sinister in the government's rush to get you out of the country.

I don't know, what could possibly go wrong if I stayed here on my own?

I don't even know where to start with this one but I'll throw out the theory that currently holds the front runner position at www.conspiracytheory.com:
In the news of late there has been talk of a coming Bourbon shortage. Possibly, the United Kingdom, in an effort to protect its own reserves, has decided to make sure you're out of the country this holiday season. This strategy not only keeps the British supply intact but you'll be attacking the French supply, thereby weakening the French government. The resulting chaos will cause the French to move their remaining Bourbon reserves off shore, likely to the UK, until such time as the rioting settles down, thereby strengthening the British supply. By the time the smoke clears the Bourbon reserves may be normalized in the markets.
I don't know why I always have to spell this stuff out for you guys.

Look, if I have to connect all the dots for you then you're not ready for the truth.

I think the UK government is perfectly reasonable in trying to divest itself of subversive Hungarians!
They probably don't realise the effect it will have on Gordon's Gin sales and customs revenues though.

No-one else's passports got done during that period, though.
The staff were too busy preparing for the "Thank God He's Leaving!" party.

There is a certain resemblance between Mr. Cockinsnatch and the otter, I have to admit that...
