This information could save you penalty points on your driving licence

My passport has expired and I have a paper driving licence. Even my solicitor said that I should renew my passport so that I had a photo ID. I have my buspass - how much more does anyone need to see

How did you get to Malvern without a current passport ?

For passports you will get the funky biometric picture which is well good in EU countries as it allows you to go through the facial recognition channel (which is well quick)

I find having to take a passport everywhere with me (when abroad) a pain in the bum,it is far more convenient to have the (much smaller) picture licence in my pocket to use as ID

I thought that you needed a passport to get in and out of the UK although I know some European countries will take ID cards.

I took the back roads and avoided the border patrols
I'm not sure that I want a funny/funky picture of me! Seriously, I didn't see the point of renewing it when I have no plans to travel abroad at the mo. Nobody is going to whisk me off to foreign climes as a surprise any more - I don't count England!!
