It's quite amazing[or perhaps these days it isn't]how many people don't seem to get the idea of average speed cameras.

On the very rare occasions when the house phone rings I let it run to the answering machine,then if it's important they'll leave a message if they don't then who cares? It's more or less the same with my mobile,if the number isn't recognized by the phones memory I don't answer it and again if it's important they can either leave a message on voicemail or send me a text message.It avoids all these people trying to sell me something I don't want/get me to claim for the diesel car I've never owned etc.

Passport expired 2016 and I didn't bother renewing it as I've no intention of going abroad again,so definitely a new photo required.
Opti you must be correct about me being old and befuddled as for the life of me I can't figure out which of the two pedals fitted to the Omega is the middle one you refer to

Thanks for that Stemo. I could have sworn I'd heard or read somewhere quite a few years ago that a doctors certificate was needed once you hit 70,obviously that's something I must have mis-remembered.

My licence hits its ten year renewal date 5 days before my 70th birthday so I'll need a new photo to go with the application[and don't you need some form of doctors note to say you're fit to drive?]so I'll be doing mine the old fashioned way.
