Australian Passport: Your passport will cost the equivalent of a newborn panda, and it will take about eight weeks. Twelve weeks processing so far and still waiting...
British Passport: We'll do your passport for a nice low price. But we won't process it unless you send both your others to us with the application, we won't discuss alternatives, and we won't tell you how long we'll hold on to all three of your passports. Probably ten weeks. Possibly ten months.
Finnish Passport: We do charge a little bit extra because you're overseas. And this might take two weeks. I hope that's ok? (I got it back in my hand, including international postage, in six working days (!!).)
It just goes to show you that if a country actually gives a toss about its citizens, it actually delivers proper public services... even abroad.
