Annoying tax disc question

[londonbabe]

Both my MoT and road tax on my Vespa run out tomorrow.
Having booked an MoT online for this lunchtime the garage profess to have no idea of the booking, or that they even have an online booking system.
The earliest they say it can be done is Wednesday.
I don't have time to sort anything else for today or tomorrow, so this might be the only option.

Now, Do I really have to SORN the damn thing until Wednesday or can I just leave it, considering the bank holiday and all?

It leaves me untaxed for a day or two but then the new tax disc and MoT will be valid from the day after the old one ran out.


(edit: yes I realise we don't have tax discs anymore. I've not been well)

Can't tax it online as it doesn't have an MoT which will be valid on the date the new tax starts.

I got an email, a Google Calendar invite, and an email reminder.
All with the correct name and address of the company.

Clearly what has happened is that at some point they said "ooh let's get a website with an online booking facility" but being a luddite bike shop then never bothered to look at any bookings that were made, and probably forgot it was there.

I am going to take printouts of the website, the booking page, the emails - the lot - and take them there to remind them that it is 2016 and this is how people do business now.
