I remember seeing something about the Paras or Commandos.. they were issued with 3 sheets. They were shown to tear a small hole in the middle and keep that piece to one side as that was to clean the finger nail ... I never joinedIn fairness, given the current shortage that might actually prove useful...

Odd I've never heard or seen anything about that, when in the field we used to be issued little packs of hand tissues as part of ration packs and lads used to take extras along themselves. Certainly not expected to wipe your arse on 2 sheets and used 1 for finger nails.
If the Para are different to we were I'd be surprised. However crapping in a bag and taking it with you there's something you have to get used to.

Yes the bag stuff was done as well .. no traces I suppose.
Given the amount of bags I was given today I think I will be okay for a month

Vinyl thread is going well. Up to T and no arguments yet. Wait until we get to Z though, when I play my joker.

If your car's MOT run s out while we are on lockdown the DVSA will grant you a 6 month extension to enable you to drive and tax your car.
All well and good.
The Theory Test expires after 2 years, if you haven't passed your test you have to retake it.
But if your Theory Test expires while we are on lockdown the good old DVSA are saying it cannot be extended under any circumstances.
Learners who had their tests booked for these 6 weeks are having them rebooked from mid July but if your Theory has since expired then you have to try and get a test along with the thousands of other people who haven't been able to book for 6 weeks in order to be able to make your rearranged practical test.
If you're unable to get your Theory passed before your practical date you have to cancel it and wait, potentially, 4- 5 months before you can take it.
Thanks for nothing DVSA - bunch of Jerks....

Will they? We put all our dogs mess in bags in our bins. And our daughters nappies. They don't mind as long as it's bagged

I wondered if they'd do the joined-up thinking.
Grateful that for the first time ever the 3 vehicles in the family don't require an MoT for the foreseeable future.

The next one in my house will be mine, which will be it's first MOT, but that isn't due until the end of September which I'm hoping by then we are back to normal.I wondered if they'd do the joined-up thinking.

Realising when you put someone on ignore that posts which quote them are also missing, or missing the quote bit. Ergo it seems like some threads now don't make sense ?

I'm surprised. I did the vehicle check the day after my MOT would have expired, and it was showing as valid for another 5 and a bit months.

Perhaps he was doing it too soon after the anouncement and now it is sorted....I don't know.

Never had anything like that in the RAF - if we ran out of loo roll, we just rang reception for some more ?????
