We all know a car number plate can be made in 10 minutes, so why does my LA want TWO WEEKS to make a hack plate? |

They used to make them here in 5 minutes. Now it needs an authorisation from the pen pushers upstairs which can add anything from another 5 minutes to a couple of days. |

However the door stickers had more air bubbles in them than my mobile when I let my 5 year old have a go at attaching the screen protector.

Ours take no time at all, once issued, they stay permanently on the vehicle, unless the vehicle is changed, if it is they are put straight onto the new vehicle by the owner. Don't know why councils need to issue a new plate yearly or stamp expiry dates on them, the council should be up date as to when they are due a test |

I think Nottingham hold the record for producing plates at something like 45 seconds. |

Nowadays it's more money for MOGO and more money for the Council. |

I had the same. Sent off all the docs and cheque 'at least two weeks before expiry to allow time for plates to be produced'. Two weeks later I go to collect plates and find that they are not ready because whoever does them is on holiday, - but if I wait 10 minutes 'we'll do them now for you'.
