    The DVLA have rejected my application to register the pickup :(

    Reason, it doesn't exist on the Nova system,
    I bought it on eBay off someone who didn't import it either so I've no real idea how long it's been in the country.
    I got the Swedish log book with it so not to worried.
    Spoke to a nice man at the HMRC and explained the situation, I'm not the first probably nor the last, good news is because it's old and from EU there should be no duty to pay.
    Just got to wait for more forms now because it needs to be done on paper and by a real person,
    We live and learn!
    3 weeks till Techenders so fingers crossed :confused:

  5. People filling in paper forms with pens wow that takes me back

    I went in the bank the other day as my card had been locked out for some reason
    5 mins in a cue in the inside of a space that looked a million miles apart from the yorkshire stone exterior
    After 5 mins women says to me what can i help you with today
    Tells the women my card need resetting as its locked
    She says come with me to the pod
    She takes my card asks me security questions and puts it all in the computer
    She then says can you wait a moment i need to phone another office to get authorisation
    15 mins later she comes off the phone and tells me she cant do it from the pod
    She walks me back to the now longer que
    I eventually get to the kiosk we asks me all the same questions etc

    She tells me it cant be done in branch but if i go to the cash machine outside i can do a pin reset which will sort the problem

    The bloke at HMRC told me on Monday he'd send me the forms I need, still waiting
    Also on Monday at 3pm I ordered some headset bearings for my MTB from simply bearings, they arrived Tuesday !
    How long does it take to post a peice of *****ing paper
     
  14. You know how crap anything to do with the government is, they would go bust in a free market.
     
  15. Beurocracy! Dealing with officialdom requires a degree of patience to say the least. Hope it's sorted soon. :)

    Ive ordered cree led torches direct from china and they have arrived in 4-5 days
    Its took 3 months to get my electric bill correct and set up a direct debit
    The freephone number is no use as our bt phoneline works less than pigeons do

    This country has gone to the dogs and no one in power will admit it

  17. Try 24 days for a letter to get from one consultant to another regarding my mums cancer treatment or the three letters i got from the hospital. The first to confirm an appointment. The second to cancel it and advise me of the new date (in the past) and the third to tell me id failed to attend the second appointment they sent which was in the past and advising me if I failed to contact them i would be discharged. And all within 2 days! The nhs is pretty frooked too.
