I've just got a nice new V5 back from the DVLA with an age related plate only 6 working days after sending the application. I am shocked it was so quick, i can only assume it's a quiet time of year for the kit and rebuild department.

I would go out for a drive soon but I've really flu (not man flu)

Very good - beats mine at 11 days which I thought was quick - very helpful as well when I phoned them - gosh, really flu, that must be bad

Maybe the centralisation of the offices has helped afterall.
Positive news.
Happy motoring!
