I find this more than a little bit cheeky.

In the UK we have a two-part driving licence (that’s licence, the noun; to license requires the ‘s’ instead of the ‘c’) – the paper-y bit and a photo-card.  Now I don’t know if this is all that cutting edge in terms of what other countries have (it may not be cutting edge at all!), but it seems to be a sensible way of doing things – perhaps one day the move will be towards doing away with the paper-y bit.  But hey, that’s not the point of this particular rant…

No Sir.  I’m jibbing about the fact that I have just been asked to renew my photo-card.  This is not unreasonable – our facial appearance does change over time.  But then I read further into the form and see that they want a whopping £20 fee to cover costs!  What bloody costs?  I’ve taken the picture, all they have to do is scan it, produce the new card and stick in the post to me.  And I’ll bet it comes back 2nd class… grr!
