BIRTH CERTIFICATE

This new copy arrived this morning - the GRO (General Register Office) told me it would take three weeks - they got it to me in less than two!

It's one of the documents I need to go ahead with my application for Belgian citizenship - I no longer give a tinker's cuss what those pathetic headless chickens get up to in Westminster.

Bit of luck - I'll soon have dual nationality - am touching oak with fingers crossed...
