So I need to renew my international driving permit. We were supposed to leave the EU last year so I obediently got one last October. Unlike my proper EU driving licence, it only lasts a year. Can you spot the problem?
So it turns out that I need a passport photo. The machine only takes cash. I don't have a £5 note.
I go to buy some vitamins in Boots for £4.99
They don't have a £5 note either
I queue up for a coffee in Costa. Hooray! They do
I sit and drink my coffee, and scan a QR code to identify myself
So, off to the photobooth
Photo taken
It looks identical to the one from last year, but I'm not allowed to re-use that one.
Back to the Post Office
Hand over the old licence, the new photos
Bloke looks at it.
Still two years to go, he says!
It's a three year licence, not one year!
Argh!
