Nothing to do with DVLA, but I remember hearing an interview with John Prescott on the radio. He'd just been up in an Army helicopter on a demonstration flight.<BR/><BR/>REPORTER: How did you enjoy your flight, Mr Prescott?<BR/><BR/>PRESCOTT: It were very naice, but I'm glad to be back on terra cotta.<BR/><BR/>He's on terracotta now, all right. The terra comes from Labour MPs who see their measily majorities melting away under JP's methane.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377446.post-1148976578876589622006-05-30T09:09:00.000+01:002006-05-30T09:09:00.000+01:00You ain't seen nuthin' yet for incompetence.

(Once they have learned Welsh of course.)<BR/><BR/>Just had some dealing with the DVLA (at 9p per minute to call their call centre !) <BR/><BR/>Doumentation request via web site - 5 working days. Via call centre - 4 working days (Using first class post apparently)<BR/><BR/>Time to process exchange of cherished number - 8 working days (Target seems to be 7) but 1 month in all including getting initial log boook for the new vehicle then the documentation for the swap and so on. Quite why it takes so long and is such a badly explained and complex process I cannot imagine. The target is seven days. I suspect they will take thatt long even if they could do it in seven minutes. <BR/><BR/>And now, apparently, a need to wait for 4 to 6 weeks before the new log book arrives. At which point we will need to fill it in and send it back to advise change of ownership of the old vehicle.<BR/><BR/>If one was tasked twith setting out to design a less efficient way of doing things I am convnced one woul dfail. Utterly.<BR/><BR/>Does Crapita already run the DVLA operation? If not I bet they will soon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377446.post-1148906679596898932006-05-29T13:44:00.000+01:002006-05-29T13:44:00.000+01:00Any objection to my stealing that splendid picture...Any objection to my stealing that splendid picture?
