I was working away this morning and just happened to notice a clamping van, then I realised that it was our car that was being clamped :eek::eek::eek:
So I ran out
and said "What cha doin?" and they said "Tax discs out of date Luv" and I looked and sure enough Tax Disc said Dec 2009 :eek: Mr SMF2 had forgotten to pay it 
and managed to ignore letter that said you have been fined and we are going to come and clamp you
£300 later the clamp is off and when the tax disc arrives we should be able to get £160 back....
..... silly Mr SMF2
