Thanks for yesterdays good suggestions regarding my sons lost passport.
He couldn't get in to see anyone in the passport office until this afternoon and was told it would take a further 48-72 hours at best to get a replacement.
As they're all coming back from Bali on Monday, he's decided not to worry about it and will wait it out in Oz.
He's chalking this one down to experience.
I told him about your sympathtic messages and he sends his thanks.
