One would have thought that getting a bunch of passport photos done in London would be no great hassle—but you’d be wrong. For a while I’ve needed to get some taken for the Tory conference accreditation form so on Thursday I popped into Hampstead Post Office to use the photo machine there. It was out of order. I went back this morning thinking that it would have been fixed in the meantime. How foolish I was.
This lunchtime I went to Victoria to use the machines there. I went into one and started plopping in the four pounds that I had to pay to get four photos. But when I got to three pounds eighty it told me the service was temporarily unavailable. To be fair, it did inform me of a number I could ring to get a refund if I called with the booth number but, seeing as I was pressed for time, I decided to just write the money off and dashed over to the machine on the other side.
