creased passport
The main picture page of my passport is a little creased. Last night leaving Paphos, Cyprus, their scanner wouldn't read it (and it struggled when we arrived there too) It worked fine when we got back into Manchester. Dare I ask 'head of ironing' to try to smooth it out or is that too much of a risk?

Cancellation insurance for passport potentially not being available
Hi all. I probably know the answer to this, but thought I'd check… We have recently adopted a son (13 months old), with the adoption order process ongoing.

Good evening, all. I always find Airport pick-ups particularly stressful! Where do I have to stand? Now the Terminal 4 Car Park is closed, the Taxi driver will probably not like to meet me anymore at a certain Coffee Shop in Arrivals, as it would mean he has to use a Park and Ride System. The Heathrow site has only given…
