OK, the company we lease our cars from was very helpful and faxed me through a letter that’s apparently good enough to get me number plates, along with my driving license for ID. You can’t just walk into somewhere and buy one any more, you see.
You need the vehicle log book and your driving license. Or passport and 2 recent utility bills. Or a DNA test. Or signed letter gifting your first-born to the management at the DVLC. Even if you’re taking a car with numberplates attached to have replacement numberplates put on. I mean, how stupid is that?
Anyway, I got the letter. Now I can’t find anywhere that’ll do numberplates! None of the major local garages to my house do them, and the place I was recommended to try is short of parts… he’s awaiting a delivery of perspex.
Good grief. I might just invest in some yellow and white paint and a black marker. At least nobody can unscrew that and pinch it.
