I put my plates on retention online on Thursday evening when I got home from work. I received the new V5 logbook in the post yesterday (Saturday). Less than 48 hours! I'm really impressed with the online system.

Yes. Mine too. Really quick but as I said no replacement MOT cerificate.

You may like to point out to your father that, for the last few years, the piece of paper is just a "receipt" - it even says so on it. It carries no authority at all. The primary legal authority is the database, which can be viewed online.

Lots of people like this though...

you're lucky. when i did mine last year i was insured thru Lloyds Bank (not sure who the actual insurer was) but they refused any mid-term amendments to my policy (even though it was just a plate change - no difference to address or car etc) and insisted on ending that policy and re-starting a new one that was going to cost an extra £300 for the year!!
it involved me escalating this to a senior manager (eventually) who still had to cancel my original policy but heavily discounted the new one (with a different insurer) to get the costs almost down to where they were.

how ridiculous is that!!!

Thats even worse. I think any new policy Im going to check these things!

Yes, there are a lot of people who persist in clinging to notions so outdated as to be absolutely wrong. It's not exclusive to MOT "certificates".
