I saw this programme once (an episode of Watchdog or something) that showed some of the DVLA's best blunders. This included a licence with an expired date earlier than the "valid from" date, and another with "Untied Kingdom" as the country. How???

The makers of the programme took this woman who'd been battling unsuccessfully for months to get an issue with her licence fixed directly to the DVLA office in Swansea, and it got sorted in no time. When a spokesperson was asked why there didn't seem to be any coherent system in place for fixing mistakes like that, he replied "Because we don't make mistakes."

!!!! :eek:

They don't make mistakes, they make corrections. Your name has always been Neil nlei, they just made you aware of it. Whatever the DVLA comes up with is how it is. That expirey date before the valid from date? They know the guy's a time traveller!

Oh my god, I just love the speechifying parts in Gurren Lagann.

As for the handwriting and phonetics, it always surprises me how many English words get absorbed into Japanese by their spelling rather than by how English speakers actually pronounce them.

Like, for example, in the Japanese pronunciations of "Higashi no Eden" and "Eureka Seven".

The "Untied Kingdom". This is us, this is what we are!

This is priceless XD I've not encountered any issues with the DVLA thus far, but then, I don't own a vehicle right at this moment so...

My license is due for renewal in a couple of years though...

There were. Don’t you remember them? You signed them quite willingly, I didn’t have to resort to threats or blackmail or anything!

I must have been drugged; there can be no other explanation...

Well, I'm here now, and I have a job to do...
