The DVA in Swansea has reported a seamless shift to their systems following the closure of the Northern Irish office.
In the real world where things that are real actually happen, the process has been a bit of a clusterfuck all round. People haven't been able to tax their cars and the differences in our MOT systems (Mainland UK - MOT after 3 years, NI - 4 years) mean that cars bought on the mainland and sold over here 3 years later cannot be driven as one computer says the car needs an MOT, the other one says it doesn't need an MOT but rest assured, it will be the one that insists you need the test that is used and your car will be nicely cubed for you.
The switch to Swansea was seen as a cost saving measure but has just caused a total fucking disaster.
The backlog is increasing each day so if your car tax is due at the end of the month, you better make damn sure you've sent all the forms off at the start (and not going to the post office on the 30th like you normally do) as you're not allowed to drive even though it's not your fault.
Thanks, new DVA.
