Your Day Today!

I've just had to renew my driving licence as you have to do it every 10 years and at the end of the lengthy online form they asked for £14.00 for the privilege.  What a rip off this photocard licence is , how do they justify charging you £14.00 every 10 years when your details are probably no different .

So everything's ready to resume crossing continents!

However.......there's dark clouds on the horizon!

How often do you have to renew , do you have to pay for the medical ?

You have to have a medical here for LGV licence renewal (and probably PCV .

Up to 65 every 10 years, 65+ it's every 5 years, and I paid about €50 for renewal and medical last time.

Nothing wrong with going away whatsoever......but I'm sure it would be much more pleasant in a hotel than in an old van.

Now if you had a proper Motorhome, or even a Caravan, I could understand it.

A fucking wobble box.... them things shouldn't be on the fucking road....

Fred keep on with the wagon, you have more credit than if you were driving around with a caravan and I wouldn't drive past and make it sway 😉..... on purpose

Get mine next week, it still the same amount (obviously) but buys less and less at the shops.

Prices still rising, we get much less for our weekly budgeted amount.......winter is going to be a struggle we think.

All you do is badmouth the UK, maybe it’s you finally having an effect on the currency markets…

It's a consequence of understanding data Pedro!

But I'm confident that things are going to turn around for the country next year!

Very doubtful @Pedro....we live frugally.......we manage to pay bills now,  but of course the gas and electric bills will rise by a large amount in the winter, and we do not have the financial leeway to accommodate such a rise.
