Would you like me to have put on every step and which colour envelope to use in the post and how many breaths to take when doing it as well?

If you wish. Alternatively, you could say, "yes actually you are right". I know it's hard but I reckon with a bit of practice you could do it

You are right in the lovely pedantic sense that you seem to love. I take it as a given that when someone sells their vehicle that they will complete and send of the appropriate forms. If you believe everyone needs a process map that offshore operations would be proud of, then maybe, just maybe you are part of the issue around the dumbing down of this nation.

Magnificent! Carry on the pair of you.

It took the DVLA 2 months to send me a letter to tell me my Ducati wasn't insured when taxed, so I'd reckon a few days won't be a problem?

What are you talking about? I merely pointed out that in contradiction to what you said, when a car is sold it is not effectively sorned. What is all this guff about forms, process maps, offshoring?

It's effectively SORNed, as in when someone sends off the forms (which I expect most sensible adults will), then the car has no tax in place and you'll need to tax it to be able to use it on the road. Now you may not actually have SORNed it, but that's what the word "effectively" means.

The rest of it means that you seem to want everyone to write every potential step of every possible scenario to be fully documented before accepting it. I have similar issues with the project leaders when I want some work offshoring. You'd make a great one of those,as it seems pedantry is a prerequisite to even apply for one of those roles.

Edited for a few fat fingered typos.

I think we've been here before. When I disgree with you, it's somehow pedantic and the rest of that is just a wibble.

Nope. Insurance is not checked at point of purchasing tax any more. Legally the car must be insured and this is continually checked now, hence why it is no longer needed at point of sale of tax.

It is though physically possible to tax an uninsured vehicle. There obviously is no benefit in doing so though.

Well you learn something new every day
