On a practical point, if your travel plans permit, perhaps it's time to replace your passport? It only takes a couple of weeks (often shorter) to replace a UK passport and any unused validity (up to 9 months) will be added to your new passport. You're going to have to replace it soon, why not get it over with?
Completely agree! i've checked and can book an appointment for a 1 week renewal emergency application if required.
i'll call CX today and see what happens.
Thank you all for your help! will keep you guys posted as it may come in handy for any future poster.
