Yes. There's always a panic, but they can actually do it. If one just asks for 'coffee', the spoon goes straight into the catering tub of brown granules of 'something'.

It's more cat than food. If you don't mind eating kitty then you'll be just fine.

Ribs are always a safe bet as is the jacket spud, the all day breakfast (or its component parts) is not a bad bit of rib stick but I wouldn't go near a burger, I'm sure they deep fry them! If any of you have worked in rural China, your expectations of eateries tends to be a little more finely tuned to seeking out their 'good' dishes 
Anyway you kids have fun at the meeting, sorry I cannot be there this time.

Probably not, but, generally, that's because the scutters don't have very retentive memories.

No it's because they have been through trauma therapy to have any memories of you erased!

Gonna be touch and go whether I make it next week in the Maser now.
I'm still waiting for the V5 from the DVLA. Without that I can't change my number plate or tax it.
Technically I'm not legally allowed to drive it.
They said it could take 4 weeks!!!!

The only problem I have had was when the previous owner SORNED the car a day before the new owner applied for tax online, computer said "No", the only way to do it was at the Post Office counter.
Just go into Post Office with the New Keeper supplement and Certificate of Insurance and tax it or try online it should work.

Mark, I've just gone through this process... Sent all sorts of documents to get my plate off the old car and into the new one, and get the new v5c all in one go. I got the documents within 10 days of posting.Gonna be touch and go whether I make it next week in the Maser now.

Anyway, you should use the new keeper's supplement you have for your new car for tax, and the dvla will automatically transfer the tax when the registration changes.
If you call the dvla, they're actually very helpful.

The guy I bought my 4200 from, first had to remove his 'plate from the car. (hence the car wasn't initially transferred in my name).
Then, once he received the new V5 back, transferred ownership to me. This was sent off to the DVLA last Thursday morning. (however, he sent the new keepers bit with it, the V5C/2).
So I haven't got the Document Reference Number you need to tax it and do a number plate transfer.
I chased it on Monday and they said "can't see anything being done on it yet" and then again this afternoon, where I was advised that it could take 4 weeks!!! FFS!
As soon as I get the new V5 I can tax it, then change the number plate (which you can do online in seconds!).

So you are absolutely correct - you've got a car you can't actually drive, possibly for a few weeks!
Be very wary about driving it untaxed; one of our forum members forgot (easily done now, when there's no disk in the window to remind you), and was hit by a £600 fine. There are loads of automatic cameras now which will spot it and send you the bill.

That's the thing. The plate on the car isn't even registered to the car! So it'll make things worse! (I think).
There are loads of automatic cameras on the M25 now, and near Ace.
