Passport office

The passport office has gone into meltdown, never quick to sort passports out the office has over recent years cut back staff, now it simply can't cope with the demand.  Lots of people are going to miss their holidays, for many it's the passport offices fault, that said some have left it rather late to order a passport. One family knowing it can take around four weeks for a passport to arrive normally, only ordered their childs passport five and a half weeks before they are supposed to leave.  At best it was cutting it fine, now it's starting to look like an expensive mistake as theres no sign of the passport and two days left before they are due to leave.
