All the best Fred with your application and holiday plans.

I had one in my pre-EU harmonised 96 odd page hardback UK passport, think they were termed B2 visas, valid for life. I was told (never tested with US Border Control) that presentation of the old/expired passport (containing the B2) would be accepted when presented with a newer/valid UK passport (I guess the biodata/details would have to be substantially the same in both). On-line application for a US ESTA should be straight forward, likewise the VisCan that is now required for Canada, both valid for 24 months (and a small financial consideration) I think.
