    I have (for the first time), renewed my road fund license online, painless, and most importantly, I don't have to Queue for 1/2 hour :D

    Snap! Saves loads of time! Must admit, before this was introduced, there was a system in our branch where you could put all the bits and pieces in an envelope, and it al got posted back to you - so I did that. That was a good start, but on-line is better still, since they've got all the info they need, and you don't have to have all the bits of paper. They know if your insurance and MOT is ok. Big Brother or not, I'm ok wth this! :D

    Good idea isn't it? [​IMG]

    The only reason I go to post office these days is to post a parcel.

    I have to admit that I buy my TV license on-line. It is convenient, but I do worry that with all the services that the post office used to provide being dealt with elsewhere so many of them will close that we might soon have to travel miles in order to be able to post a parcel.
