New V5 ...

    Rather unexpectedly I received a letter from DVLA this morning. It
    contained a new format V5, the A3 sized V5C. Reading the covering
    letter it revealed the following:

    "I enclose your new style Registration Certificate (V5C). We are
    sending it to you as part of a programme to replace all existing
    Registration Documents (V5).

    These certificates have been designed to comply with a European
    Directive to harmonise Vehicle Registration Certificates across the
    European Community. They have been issued since January 2004 and will
    gradually replace the current Registration Document.

    You must now destroy your V5 Registration Document as it is now
    invalid."


    I'm a bit stunned, tbh. How fucking much is this scheme going to
    cost, ffs? I would think that it would be far more sensible to phase
    this change in and send out new V5Cs when old V5s are returned for
    changes, as has been happening. It looks as if they are now reissuing
    every Registration Document - in a hurry.

    One wonders how many of our Euro-brethren will be undertaking similar
    schemes.

    I received four new ones but then told them that I'd changed my name

    Molly bored us all completely to death with wittery prose along the
    lines of:

  5. Acronyms? Surely not all of them. Abbreviations perhaps.
