Forget it, then
I have not gotten much further forward with the story of the passport from last week. No word from the police, and when I phoned the British consulate to ask what would happen if they received a lost passport, I was told that they would return it to the issuing office in, yes, Scotland. Now, surely a British passport lost in the Netherlands has obviously been lost by someone IN the Netherlands, who cannot then get back to the UK, because they don’t have their passport, but to get it back they would need to be in the UK. Where they can’t get to without a passport. Fucking stupid idiot morons. I don’t want back in your damn spastic country, anyhow. I have mouthed off many times about how stupid the Dutch authorities are, but I guess they have some competition.
