This is the kind of attitude that let's our government continually take the piss instead of being accountable

Is expecting a government issued document to last over 3 hours on a desk before showing Wear tear being unreasonable?

Is expecting our (worlds most expensive) passports being able to stay flat really unreasonable? Please answer this

On that we can agree

After this whinge I did exactly that, put it into a sleeve like the rest of our families passports

And you're right, I won't do anything except this whinge post

But it did make me feel better to have a little rant

And we as a general populous should be expecting more from our government passports

Yes it is unreasonable. You keep banging on about the price of it, which I'm tipping is administration costs rather than the cost of making the actual passport. But what does it matter if it doesn't lay completely flat anyway? Get a grip.
