New passports

April 16th, 2007 by Jerry

We got new passports. I say passports, HMG has taken to issuing bird spotters i-Spy books instead of passports. Each page has a picture of a bird on it. I’m not sure if there’s any requirement to match up with the national bird of the country you’re visiting. Very pretty though - much better than the old ones… except for one thing.

The pretty birdy pictures are obviously a come on to tempt people into having a biometric big brother friendly passport. They added another thing to quell the riots in Rhyll and protests in Peterhead. The new i-Spy bird spotter passports are tri-lingual: English, Welsh and some other dialect of Welsh than looks just as dangerous to speak.

I preferred it when we didn’t like the welsh and they burnt our holiday cottages down. Now it seems we all have to speak their language as if words like Cymmrodorion were sensible or even utterable.

    Ooh Jerry - I’d be careful saying things like that. You’ll have Alexis up in arms!
