I have done everything possible to get my driving licence renewed!

Got mine within 4 days from online application to receipt

Yes a neighbour said the same, I did mine online, but this is my fist plastic driving licence, but it is not acceptable! I was reading some people who have retired and starting on Government pension, are waiting over 2 to 3 months for their first payment? Civil Servants do not want to return to offices, but with DLVA being based in Wales, restrictions for offices seem tighter, my licence expired at the start of September last year! but they extended the end date 11 months longer, but from the 18th July online, is getting a little silly now! I check every day online, this morning still saying, in progress lol

The Welsh like their tea-breaks.

The simple answer is NO! I received a letter from the DLVA today, confirming they did receive my application on the 18th July online, and that is still not ready to be sent out, the manager admitted, The DLVA have high standards, but they accept in my case they have not kept that standard, and finished, we do not know as presently when it will be ready to send out.

But I feel more for the people have retired this year, and are still to receive their first pension payment from the Government.

Well I've just emailed the club to say that I received their begging letter....sorry player sponsorship information and it is being processed, but due to covid restrictions on working practices here in New Zealand, it might take longer than normal for me to decide I won't give the club a brass farthing until they announce the full squad and what players are available.
I recall trying to sponsor a player as a gift for my daughter in 2007 and being too late to the party in December....I wonder if the shelves will be bare this year before Christmas (or if we will have announced our squad)?

Thats very OTT, I'll provide a fuller response when I've finished my cuppa!!

Bloody hell- is Dido Harding running the DVLA these days?

Lordy Lord, jaybs has no chance!

Starting to accept that lol, but I will keep on driving until the police stop me one day, at least I now have the letter received yesterday from DLVA, to show the friendly policeman/

Wales seem to have been hit badly, but I do think the DLVA should have some back up, what would happen if the building should ever burn down? would licences etc should come to a complete halt. Feel for youngsters, it is not cheap these days with lessons.
