Bought the lads Superb on August 24th

Taxi test passed Sept 5th (fees paid the week before)

No plate without (at least) new keepers section of V5.....V5 came saturday (my name)

So he took new keepers section in at 09.30

They had our old address down for us..........i filled out the application for plate with correct address when applying

Plate was ready at 4pm

Collected it............wrong reg on plate

New plate produced..........wrong reg again

3rd time lucky but as he doesnt have full V5 in his name its a 1 month plate, issued today, expires.....30/09/2016

thats 18 days

wrong post code on A4 vehicle licence

I remember when I first started, the date on the outside plate on first car was different to the one on the inside (by one day).

I think your council licensing section needs reporting for the sheer waste of public money through incompetence

When I asked why the "1 month plate" was only valid till Sept 19th she looked and said....."er, thats what we always do"

Im not chasing it, lets see if she knows when the plate is up

She told me when i was 61 (and 8 months ) old every driver needs an annual medical once......60
