    Well yes maybe but he made the point that you have to take time off work etc to go renew your driver's license so it's not really any different to that.

    That's prob not music to the ears for someone that had a "lifetime" license at one point though

    Slightly different as you need your spouse there too, with a drivers licence you can rock up to the AA at lunch time, etc & do it in 15min, no appointment necessary.

    As an aside, I dropped my paperwork in last Wednesday and did the interview this morning after he rang yesterday to sort a time out, same guy who did my wife's one recently so quick & painless over a cup of tea. Now the wait for the licence.

    He said there are 12 vettors covering the wider Canterbury region.
    Shut up, get out & start pushing!
