As I then passed my bike test in Nov 80, it might be when they sent me my fully updated licence :-\ but as above, I passed my car test 2nd Aug 1979 (such a looooong time ago now ??? )

Perfect details on mine

Probably dodgy conversion from paper records to electronic as you seem to be older than time itself… :P ;)
Good details on mine.. never realised I could ride a moped without taking the CBT (according to the the licence checker, anyway), in fact it doesn't say I need a CBT for my bike provisional to be valid, but I'm pretty sure I do..

My licence is valid from 1977. I passed my test in 1977.
Could it be your memory is starting to become hazy as one year becomes the next?....... ;) :). It happens to elderly people.

I noticed that bit too ....... I never knew that.
Where's a Routemaster for sale? We could have an OOF day out at the seaside ;D ;D ;D

A nice idea...
But... (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AEC-ROUTEMASTER-/171199439087?pt=UK_Minibuses_Buses_Coaches&hash=item27dc4820ef) :o
Lord Opti would need to buy it although I am sure Seth would love to look after it and drive to various OOF meets ;D

Theres a Tartan one listed, for £35k... I dread to think what is wrong with it ::)

I passed my test in 1973 but says <1984.
Interesting that I can provisionally jump on a 1000cc bike.
-

And I passed my main test on the day before I had remembered, 2nd Dec 1974 my bike test was 9th Oct 1974........... ;D ;D

Did you move house or something like that or any other reason a license was sent out to you in 81?
It says my license is valid from March 2014.....which is when i was required to apply for another 10 year one :y
I can drive a tractor (which is scary really considering the size of some tractors these days) 8) :D :D

Note that they will verify your identity by checking your National Insurance Number with the Dept for Work and Pensions and Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs. ::)
I hope that you've all been paying your taxes!! :D ;D
