UK Passport Renewal
Not sure if this has been mentioned on here , and may have gone unnoticed by people.
But from this month if /when you renew your passport no extra months will be added (for early renewal)

It's a big deal if you are travelling to a country (such as the USA) that won't let you in unless your passport has at least 6 months to run. You then lose the final 6 months or more of your existing passport when you renew, meaning that under the new rules you in effect previously paid for a 10-year passport that only lasted for 9.5 (or less) years.

Does anyone happen to know what the International Civil Aviation Organisation recommendations are that the validity is not extended? I could Google but thought I would ask here first.
