    I think it was just the words and intentions of whatever changes are made to the PD that Labour want to somehow entrench in law, in case May's successor decides to push for a hard Brexit.

      Putting my collector's hat on, these passports will surely become valuable in future years, given the window between burgundy and blue will end in October.

          I got my renewal recently, it still has "European Union" on it.

              Are we going to have to go through another whole year of this bollocks?

                The old ones were a very dark blue, I thought.

                  Yeah, navy blue.

                      Black. Absolutely definitely black. Without question.

                            Is that supposed to prove that they were blue? It looks black on my screen.

                              Oh, it looks navy blue on mine.

                              How about from Wiki: "A 32-page passport with a dark cover, commonly known as the old blue style, came into use in 1920 with the formation of the Passport Service following international agreement on a standard format for passports, and remained in use until replaced by the European Union-style machine-readable passport in late 1988."

                                There's an actual fucking unicorn on the cover. Does it have a picture of a cake on the back?

                                  Haha - very good.

                                    BTW, that unicorn represents Scotland. Chained, too, you'll notice.

                                    The cake on the back is a victoria sponge rampant.

                                      I went and looked at an old passport, held in my hand, and it was black.

                                        It appears to be a thing: https://www.theguardian.com/politics...assport-colour

                                          Deffo a thing, yeah. They didn't used to insist it was blue, but now they do. It was black.

                                            To be honest if we can have any colour for it I'd rather it was orange or turquoise or kelly green rather than those drab brownish/dark navy shades that most countries seem to stick to.

                                            Loving the Swiss one by the way, no fussy coat of arms for that lot. If they'd used Helvetica on the cover it'd be a proper piece of classic Swiss design.

                                              Kelly Green is an Australian singer. Born in the United Kingdom, she migrated to Australia in 1956, her singing career began in Sydney at the age of 15. Green grew up in a musical family – her father, Norman Sherratt, was a guitarist and her older twin sisters, Christine and Norma, were also singers.

                                                  'Oway TonTon. Bright shade of mid-green. Although apparently it's an americanism.

                                                    Appaz the singer woman was named after the shade.
