frustrating
I'm trying to fill in my application for a new visa

I am not applying to go to the "Overseas Territory" yet every time my application refers me back to this section for completion. What does one do?

Direct Airside Transit visa (DATV)
My wife and I will be traveling from Cape Town to San Diego with British airways with a transit at Heathrow. Now I have been told we need a DATV to be able to do this. My question is can we apply for this visa online and if so at what address.
Thanking you

PASSPORT RENEWAL.
I have repeatedly tried to ring the Consulate,but with no avail.Firstly on the first number I was given I got non re-ply,after hanging on for almost 15 minutes.The second number got me through to the consulate,but an electric type voice told me all the things that were available,but when I chose the actualm service I required,all I got was a repeat.Total waste of time.

No longer a contact number
The contact number directed me to a voice message that said to visit the contact page which still has the old contact details on it. There is no way to phone the British Consulate. How on Earth can I get in touch. I have an urgent query that your site does not answer, or rather only half answers.
