After ten years me driving licence needs an updated picture. I have no real problem with that – except the cost. I don’t mind stumping-up a few quid in the photo-booth; or sitting there like a berk while all of asda watch with a smile.
What bugs me is the smugly nasty, blatant taxation of the £20 licence renewal fee.
“But a licence, and all the data storage malarky that goes with it, costs the government a lot of money”, is often the index-linked wail………
No, it costs the government nothing. And boy is it a simple problem to fix – treated logically that is.
(Boy do I look anoyed on me new photo!)
I’m shopping on the ‘net at the moment – praying that some bozo nicks me credit-card. It’s up to hilt!
