Re: Driving license exchange

I just said what myself and my other half did last year. DVLA sent us new licences when they received the application form and did not request any to be returned. If you had a different experience I...

Re: Driving license exchange

DVLA will not want to have your Ontario licence. All you do is pick up a renewal form from the post office and send it off with a photo. I was able to give them my old licence number as I still had...

Re: 2024 Canada tax - accountant let us down

I have already checked the links you suggested and also my CRA account which shows that no file has been submitted. The info was sent to the accountant a month ago and she emailed back to say she...

Re: Banking help

The house buying and selling procedure in England seems to bring out the worst in people. In Scotland they have a 'blind bid' procedure where you have to make offers above a certain amount requested...

Re: Driving License Exchange Timescale?

Sorry I can’t remember the number but I think it might have just been called a renewal form. It was easy to find on the display rack in the post office and comes with an envelope although you do...

Re: Input, please - Planning to relocate to UK from Canada … but in a few years

Re: Driving License Exchange Timescale?

It only took about two weeks for us to get our UK licences in May 2024. I don’t know whether the process was quicker because we still knew our licence numbers from when we lived in the UK before. ...

Re: Stamp duty surcharge refund

That was a good result. You’re probably right about them working from home may be making the process slower. I’m not in a desperate hurry I would just like to get everything tidied up.

We moved back to the UK in May 2024 after 17 years living on Vancouver Island and used Dowells removals. They very accurately assessed the amount of shipping space we needed in a container and dealt...

Re: Why are the potatoes so rubbish?

I completely agree. Also have you tried the Albert Bartlett potatoes from Sainsbury’s? When you have them mashed they are so delicious you don’t even need butter on them​​​​​​.
