Phote Me Booths go green

The Photo Me booths in supermarkets have gone green.  So if you need to get a passport or visa photo done in the middle of the night, forget it.  They’re on a timer and switch off at 11pm at night.  Don’t believe anything else a supermarket tells you, I ended up on a wild goose chase through South London trying to find one working as each supermarket told me a different tale.  The last one finally told me the truth so finally I could give up and go home.

The moral of the story of course is make sure you have your photos done and you’re happy with them well before you’re due to hand in the application.  Not all underground stations have the booths either and most embassies I’ve been in don’t, so be prepared!
