British passports

[Des Parrot]

Just returned from Poland for a couple of days … walk up to the E Gate armed with my brand new shiny blue British passport.

Gets rejected.. go to desk. WTF. Man on desk tells men the E Gates are not set up for the new British passport. FFS. Yet another incompetent Brexit linked failing.

"Craig Burston, senior lecturer in graphic design at the London College of Communication, which incorporates what was the London College of Printing, says there is nothing to suggest the "dominant colour" of the new passport is blue.
But if it is blue, "it must be the most apologetic shade of blue they could find" because "it's as black as blue gets".

"The Home Office would not specify the shade of this blue, although a spokesman said it was close to, if not exactly, a blue numbered as 5395C in the Pantone classification."

Probably at the airport.

I was hoping it could be narrowed down a bit.
