    “With our holiday on May 22, I went on the official government website and typed in ‘get a passport within five days’ and a site called Passport Services came up,” said Melissa.
    Could this really happen?
    Sounds very odd that an official website would direct someone to a non-official website.

    No it couldn't There's no way a government website would link to an unofficial website. Besides there is no 5 day service. It's either 4 hour or 7 day if it's not the standard service.

    Exactly!

    Some people do talk a load of tosh to the media.
    It's clear that the woman being interviewed wasn't on the 'official government website' at all.
