Passport in the Washing Machine

FTA69

In an act of utter genius I just unloaded my washing machine only to find my passport was in the pockets of a pair of shorts. I'm jet lagged as balls and suffering from a bit of heat stroke so wasn't the most alert of individuals at the time. It's one of those new e-passports and the page itself with my details is looking ok. I'm gently trying to air it dry at the moment. Have I got away with it or does water destroy the chip in it? Any passport experts able to advise or will I just have to get a new one?

There are a few lads up in Archway will sort you out with a fake one for a few quid. Much less hassle then getting one of those official ones.

Jackpot!

On a serious note, it's a sad day when a genuine and heartfelt query is met with mirthful entendres. And in After Hours of all places. For shame.

That's a bit harsh on Truman....and my nugget of advice is just gold.

I'm sorry, don't usually get past titles to read queries and shouldn't have put a different spin on it.

Pop it in the tumble dryer for 20 minutes and it should be grand

Good point.

Get the london tube northern line on the barnet branch and get off at Archway station.

The Archway pub is just there. The lads round the back will sort you out with a new passport....or a gun....or a genuine quartz rolex.

You can get an all in one deal if you so wish.

My ex works in the Whittington and I couldn't be running the risk of encountering her and giving her an opportunity to laugh at my diplomatic misfortune. Can you recommend any nice Jamaican lads down Harlsden no?

Should be grand, I washed my boyfriends passport a month or two before we went away, there was no problem.

Sure....if you want a jamacian passport.

Word to the wise though, an irish person with a fake jamacian passport just might raise suspicion.

Oh I don't know OP. It would have been better had you not put your passport in the washing machine in my honest opinion.
