Am I the only driver in the UK that still has an ordinary paper licence? everyone seems to have the new style photo card licences with paper part. Even old people that have been driving before I was born have plastic fantastic licences? Why pay good money for a plastic card when you can keep your real one... anyone else got a real one ::)
-
Sure have....... ::)
-
good stuff :y I take it that your not the age stated in your profile then ;D
-
Yep - still got a paper one :y
-
excellent, that makes 2 of us, unless mr skruntie is being economic with the truth on his profile?? :D
-
too right, not getting into the send us more money every 10 years to keep your licenese till I have too :y
-
Still got mine,its a bit tatty now and theres a bit of writing that someone called Court put on it.
-
Mine looks like an ancient parchment, full of holes and tatty but i've still got it :)
-
Have original paper doc here as well.Abit worse for wear and as original as the day it was sent out in 1978.
-
I`m still on green-paper; although I dread moving house, as I`ll be forced to change to a plastic. ;)
-
Glad to report that I'm still using the old technology here 8-) 8-)
-
Only changed mine because I moved house :'( :'(
-
Still got my paper one...

I put my brain age down, but still act younger than that.
Admin recenvently had me down as a 69 year old, I am in fact 50 next year and have no problems with it as it is just a number.

Mrs E still has the paper one ... I was forced to change when I got the LGV / PCV licences .. :(
-
i still have a paper license, although its a bit worse for wear as is a doodle pad for the courts. im not keen on the idea of renewing it every 10 years at a ridiculous cost and, furthermore, once you send off for a plastic fantastic job some of the items on your original paper license maybe be 're-evaluated' and mysteriously disappear...

Still using a paper one , and as it's nicely tucked away in a plastic cover it's as good as new , only a matter of time before we're all forced to go plastic though >:( >:(
-

;D Do you keep that with your ration books? ;D ;D
-
I've got both, I know someone who still has the paper one which is all in bits, he refuses to pay for a new one though.

If you send the old licence in there is no fee for a plastic one.
-
Me too
-
Aye paper one here aswell
-
I passed my PSV in '98 so i got the plastic pretty early on
No real bother to be honest,£20 every 10 years for a new photo is not exactly bank breaking
Handy when you need photographic I.D. for things,as i carry it in my wallet...dont carry a passport around
-
I had a paper licence until i applied for a driving card for work, i now have a plastic licence.
I think i can afford a pound a year for renewal :D
The plastice one comes in very useful when i need to show my ID :y

Yep, paper here too. :y
-
thats a pretty impressive show of of hands :y next time a 20yr old bank clerk looks at my licence like i stole it from the history museum, I'll know I'm not alone ;D
-
What is a licence? Never bothered myself. Insurance is easy got around by using 'The boys' numberplates and as for photo's, they can see me any month on crimewatch.
Sorted.
-
I've got one too. But unfortunately I moved house in the late nineties and they replaced my nice green one with a pink one.
-
Paper till medical declaration (MS) , now plastic and renewed every 3 years... oh and once every 10 for photo :-?
-
I've only got the paper one - issued in 1998 - last time I moved house.
I didn't realise thay had an expiry date. Mine runs out in January 2016. Oops. :(
