If you want a really top rip off forget the new price of consulate issued UK passports.
The absolutely top one is the one done by the Greek goverment: it cancelled every single passport issued before Jan 01 2006, while issuing full five-year ones until December 31 2005. And obviously no refunds for credit given for the unused time. A handsome profit..
So please don't complain.
