DVLA & specifically their new www.wastehalfanhourhere/nomoretaxdisc/havingyouon/Betanotbetter.crap website, has been driving me mad.

In the end I had to go into the good old Post Office in person this a.m in order to keep myself legal via car tax, having tried & failed several times on Tues & Wednesday night to do the online thing.

I thought I might try the site & register for the new Direct Debit option, as cash flow is not flowing.

Big mistake.

I went through the whole online form filling through the Beta site option (they role out a new "improved" version once or twice a month the blurb says, only for the site to kick me out at the enter email address stage, 4 times.

Here was the problem. Entering email address x2 is mandatory to progress through to the 'next round of it's a knockout', yet on my mobile, as soon as I changed the keyboard for the @ icon, DVLA site 'kicks out' all your previous info entered & replaces it with one single @ in the email section, all other fields are now emptied, fields that I have sat and filled, 4 times.

After the 4th attempt I noticed that you had an option to revert to the old format rather than the Beta not Better version, so I clicked on that.

"Sorry, this incredibly useless version is unavailable at this time" or something like that pops up.

Two more attempts at the Beta not better version later & I had had enough.

You might reasonably expect that this is just a teething issue for mobile web applications, wrong, rtied from the laptop & laptop says NO, wouldn't even connect to the site at all, as if it's not recognised, a NONE Site if you like :cursing:

So, my vote for most frustratingly
$#!T€ site & Cretins of 2014 Award goes to the DVLA for their uncanny ability to turn Gold into $#!T

Growl :cursing:
Working okay this end. Both sites.

Access to that site denied on library computer. Can't help you there!

Three site showing excellent coverage in most of your area. Odd spots that shows as having no coverage though!

The 3 store locally is a small corner desk area in Superdrugs store Leigh.

The girl in there has told both myself & SWMBO (independently) that she routinely advises anyone who lives in the Atherton area not to bother with a 3 contract as they always end up back in the shop complaining

Besides, I don't really buy into that service checker thing, wouldn't believe anything they said or printed, including any amount of graphs, pie charts or fancy service strength illustrations, can all be fabrications IMHO.
