Thursday last week, I received a reminder that my driving licence was up for its 10 year renewal/update.

So, rather than wait, I thought I would get on and do it and try the online system.

fairly straight forward and simple, everything including payment went through OK and so I thought it would take at least a couple of weeks for my new licence to arrive in the post.

Blow me down, not less than half an hour ago, new licence drops onto my mat, and to top it all, all my groups and details are correct.

So, one and a half working days and everything is done.

Not usually a fan of DVLA, but for once, I have to say, "Fair play"....

Now I just have to send my old licence back once I have cut it up. (y)

I wouldn't big them up too much. Bunch of twats have probably sold your details to three-quarters of Nigeria.

I moved my mobile phone from EE to Sky last week.

Couldn't have been easier, worked perfectly, no hassle whatsoever.

And £6 per month for 2gb plus unlimited calls and texts :cool: compared to £18 from EE, the best they could do when my 24 month tie in ended.....

I am into my 10th week & soon to be on to my 6th phone call about the v5c for a bike I bought.

Yes that have definitely got better as they actually recognise that the bike exists & is registered now :rolleyes:
