I'll carefully rehearse my verbal reply. Wonder if they'll be as smug when handing it back. I will of course return all the meaningless printouts they pushed across/under the counter, from behind bulletproof glass. Then tell them why they're wrong, I'm right, and that I shouldn't be the one schooling the police on how the law works.

In the play A Man for all Seasons, there are some wonderful words I'd love to quote on the day. Might be taking it a bit too far though :)

Of course, it might have already been destroyed! Stay tuned...

One point. Make sure you keep a copy of all paperwork and contact made over this matter. You never know when or if that might be needed by you.

Do I sound paranoid? I might be but I might also be right to be!

Kept on emailing the Home Office for more than a week. My last (yesterday) was to ask if the complaints URL for the HO was correct. Today I received this short reply:

"We have contacted Croydon Police, and they will be contacting you to return your item."

Will post here when/if I have it in my hands.

Can you video it and include the indignant look on the receptionist’s face, please? :D
