If you still have it take along the log book for the donor. I had this and it meant I didn't have any problem getting an age related plate. They "confiscated" the log book after saying that they...

You're right. It was Northampton. They call it a senior moment. I remember the young lady vividly though ;-)

Fantastic news. I bet you're chuffed to bits.

Now just the registration to deal with. I used Peterborough. It was almost worth the fee just to see the rather plumpshoush young lady in tight jeans...
