It might work out at £7.55 a year but as you can't pay annually, it's a lump of £75.50 all at once.

It’s only up by £3 if done online. Which is still less that it was before the decrease in 2012

But you are definitely in the minority.
Most people do have to pay for their passport.

Of course not.
I've no idea how you got that from my post.
I simply said that although you travelled without having to pay for a passport through the job you did, most people have to pay for a passport.
You introduced the subject of not having to pay for a passport.
