No voting here, either.
Still limping from my bone marrow biopsy of 2 days ago. I hour of absolute torture whilst they screw a huge needle into your hip to extract the marrow. Feeling sorry for myself!
Not much planned, maybe a Carnic in the offing.
Have a good one, all.

Don`t talk to me about ID. I have spent nearly all morning trying to verify who I am, in order to renew my driving licence. Never mind the fact that they had written to me anyway. No, I don`t have a valid passport. I got there in the end, at least only £14 and not over £20 at the PO.

I'll have that problem in 3 years time. I still have the old pink paper driving licence and will need to apply for a new photo one when I'm 70. I don't possess a passport either. The only photo ID I have is my bus pass.

The biggest problem was verifying who I was. I had already opened an account with the UK Gov website several years back for my pension. It is as if one hand does`nt know what the other is doing. No surprise really, why should I think it does. The number of times I had to sign in and sign out this morning was unbelievable. I am quite PC Savvy. I don`t have a smart phone but luckily we had an Android tablet so was able to take a photo of the driving licence and myself and that was just to verify who I am. " Don`t give it to them Pike" ! ( Dad`s Army). Good luck in 3 years then. I may have to renew in 2 1/2 years as well then as that it when I hit 70.
Edit I have just counted 7 text messages with a once only PIN on my phone, for verification.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
I was lucky. I renewed my driving license 10 years ago. I didn't have a problem, just sent my old paper license back with a mugshot. They changed it no problem. I had to renew ita couple of months ago as I had reached 70. Again no problem. They sent a letter telling me i had to renew it. Sent the old one back with the letter and about 3 weeks later my new license arrived.
I have to renew my passports next year.

I only had two options: Renew on line or at the Post Office. When I renewed 10 years ago it was simple. Since then I renewed for my late father, who had no passport, again, no problem. You have been lucky welch dragon.

We had to pay £50 to identify ourselves so we could redo our Wills. We do not have passports and our driving licences weren't enough!
An online portal was sent from the Solicitors for us to use. The strapline on the site was 'Improve your profits'.
