    Look on the back of your photocard, does it have 01 in the codes?

    isnt it odd though that its taken them nearly 5 years to notice it

    im also wary of sengin both parts of my license together in just a prepaid 2nd class envelope

    photocopy it first if you can drive anything other than a car.

    If youre bothered send it registered, at your cost of course, but you will have peace of mind.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    Waste of £5, just as likely to get lost there or by return post.

    I had 01 on my photo card then when I renewed the photo on it, the 01 was no more. That was last year so I'm guessing in 4 years time I will get told to send it back due to a mistake. LOL.
