John McEnroe was in Durham on Friday..honest

Got to Durham without incident, got the passport quickly and efficiently. The wide eyed kid who served me was imbued with the staff training manual - 'Treat everyone with politeness, even those who are rude to you - not because they are nice, but because you are'. No worries mate! Actual Passport Office much NICER than National Passport Hotline...

I didn't see John McEnroe coming to the booth beside me at first. In fact I didn't see him at all. I just heard the 'polite' counter person saying to a fellow applicant that the passport photo presented was unacceptable because "you are smiling too much". I just knew he was there when I heard a roaring, bellicose "YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS!!" Billo
