I'm supposed to be looking for another 2nd (or 3rd or 4th) hand car.
Unfortunately I seem to lack a certain motivation.
So I'm posting crap on here instead.
I think it's termed paralysis by analysis.
MOT'd and Insured my old L reg Omega yesterday, it's been sat on the drive for months because I only use it for towing the caravan. tried to tax it online and it kept canceling me. Then tried the phone payment system, refused me.
Phoned DVLA and managed to get hold of customer services after the sixteenth time of being cut off.
I explained that I was taking the car away on hol's tomorrow,They said that because I insured online it may take up to three weeks for my insurance details to be entered onto their database or some such nonsense. She said just go to the post office and tax it. I pointed out that I had tried that and they would not accept a printout off the computer, and my cover note would take three to five days to reach my home.
The silly cow then suggested that I take it with me on holiday and tax the car when I get there.
