S-G,
Just keep taking the tranqs and rock gently back and forward ... then find a lead pipe and smash up the solicitors office ... it might cost a few pence more but at least you will have got value for money

I'd love to but another solicitor there is dealing with my crash claim.
The house one is the dullest dullard ever. Told him i could come in before 10 cos i'm on 10 - 6's and he told me that there's no need for me to miss work i can come in before... well done Einstein, that's what i said0 -
Ticklemouse - is it def DVLA making the mistake and not that the prev owners haven't informed them of their new address. I got sick of this too after 2 and a half years so i popped next one back in post to DVLA - the old people came round asking for it and i told em i'd posted it back - didn't get any more problemsKnow what you mean about DVLA though. We've been in this house over 2 years so previous owners will have had to have taxed their cars at least twice. A couple of months ago a letter popped through my letterbox, to the previous owners, regarding re-taxing their vehicle. Good job they only moved round the corner so I could take it to them.
What I want to know is, considering they are able to keep up to date with all the changes of details etc so they can chase us for our tax, how come they reverted to a 2 1/2 yr old address?
