So. Last night I reserved my hire van for the BHPC weekend. Usual online stuff, pick a depot, pick a vehicle, confirm collection time. Easy gig.
'Complete your reservation'. Pay now or later? Hmm, later methinks.
Enter driver # & licence details. Expiry date. Hmm(2).
My driving entitlement runs until 2032 but the expiry date on teh photocard is May 2018.
'Do you need this letter?' sez Mrs. Torslanda - she of the horned helmet and heavy metal breastplate.
'Arse! Bum! Buggritt! Minnellium, hand & shrimp!' sez me. I'll be your dickhead for the day.
Dire warning from the gov.uk about driving with an expired photocard whilst still actually entitled to drive for the best part of another 15 years. Pay the 2 dollars & order new licence. Of course I'm going to cut the old one in half and send it back...
...but not before the new one arrives. I'm not that much of a feckin' div!
