It won't be long then before all new babies have barcodes tattooed on their foreheads at birth.

I didn't know you were ever allowed to smile on a passport photo! You mean to say that all my passport photos have been miserable all these years and they didn't have to be. lol

By the way, did you know that there are only two people who have had special dispensation to wear sunglasses on their passport photos. 100 ackers to the first person who can guess who they are.

The queen and prince charles
 
No to Elton John, no to the Queen and Prince Charles. Don't think the Queen needs a passport, not sure if Prince Charles has one either.
 
Apparently it can be a 'restrained' smile (whatever that is!) and has something to do with fitting in with worldwide biometric scanning!!
 
It seems that headwear is acceptable if for religious beliefs, ummmmm!!

I'm really puzzling over the sunglasses question so please put me out of my misery!! i'm indoors reckons it's the Blairs.............and I thought of that Blunkett person.

Would have loved 100 ackers for a pet!

Oh, and, my broadband speed doubled today.........cooking on gas now!
 
Well, 'im indoors has come up with the head of MI5 and MI6...........and if he's wrong I'm giving in..............x

One hunderd ackers are on their way to you. Yes, it's the two people who changed their names by deedpoll to Jake and Elwood Blues. They got a special dispensation as they argued that they were better known with the dark glasses than without.

Cheers
 
oooo thanks :o I should post this in what makes you smile. getting an answer right and even better getting some ackers for it.


THANKS GAYLE XX
 
I didn't know anyone had done that (deed poll name change) so they aren't as well known as they might think.

Surprising that they can get away with that if blind people can't do the same and most blind people who wear them are surely far more recognisable with their dark glasses than without. I don't think I've ever seen Ray Charles or Stevie Wonder without them.

Just look at how strange Roy Orbison used to look if he took his trade-mark specs off even though he could see.
 
you'd think you should be allowed to smile on passport photos...cuz when you get to passport control you always put on a fake smile.
 
Your not supposed to smile, cause any facial expressions can make you look different, when your face is relaxed and not smiling it's in neutral giving you your REAL looks.
 
I never knew that you could smile on your passport photo,i look very grim on mine, mind you it is an old one.lol
