well my day started really bad.i had sva re test at carlisle today and after a week of calling local dvla to arrange an inspection (paperwork sent in 2 weeks ago) i was told by them that they did not have my papers. i called royal mail who said it will be at carlisle post office as i had not paid enough postage! my car passed sva which put me in a great mood!! after sva i went to the post office and they said my papers have been sent to returns department in belfast and will be at least 4 weeks until they return them to me! so good day+bad day really

Jesus, that's going to be a hard wait.

A couple of months ago we returned my wife's tax disk to the DVLA for a refund (she can't drive due to illness). I went to the local postbox and found they'd changed the times and I had to drive elsewhere trying not to miss the last post on the last day of the month. In the panic of the moment, I found that I'd missed the last post entirely, put the envelope in the postbox in disgust and then realised I'd forgotten to put a stamp on at all. It was apparently delivered fine and even though it wasn't collected from the postbox until the next month had started, they still credited the extra month.
