Title: The answer my friend, is showing in the grin!!!!!
Post by: Dogbad on October 11, 2010, 04:13:16 PM: ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D izzat enough grins to convey my state of mind at this time I wonder. Maybe a few more to be safe ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

After 5 months of having been told yes and then no and then yes and then no etc by the G.P. and by DVLA I was resigned to having to wait another 12 months before I could reapply for my driving licence (Medical grounds) and the following 6 months whilst a decision was made then.

Today I heard the letterbox flap go "P'tang" (as it does) and was expectin g it to be the normal junk mail or bills.

I and I were somewhat less than exited when I picked the small brown envelope up with the "Return to Swansea SA99) on the back. Assumed it was just confirmation of the DVLA medics giving me the No - No on the licence officially.

SURPRISE SURPRISE!
In this insignificant little envelope was a [plastic card with a picture and some writing on it. There was also a bit of greenish paper with more writing on that.

The general Gist of it was that THEY GAVE ME MY LICENCE BACK AND MADE IT FOR 7 YEARS THIS TIME!!!!

Good job I didn't sell the XBR innit!

I need a "HUGE GRIN" smiley now.

You'll enjoy it so much more now...

I don't think any of us know what we have until it is taken away. We take so much for granted in life but I suppose that is the way it has always been.
Ride on and ride safely.
