UK Passport Renewal

Please note, that if you are renewing a UK passport from Italy, then you previously had to send everything to the Paris Office. This has now changed, and everything has to go to the UK:

Whatever you now have to do to renew your UK passport from Italy it must be better than having to go in person to Newport, South Wales!

I've had to do that twice and it's the most miserable experience in probably the most miserable place in the whole UK.
