Oh I'll be staying, I just needed to vent. I just have trouble believing when we get the same result time and again , just when you think that one is now solved and you can move on, and then oh wait here we go again.

A couple of council meetings back a senior spokesman was referring to his power point when he mentioned the word 'iterative' then he continued and said 'whatever that means', I wondered at that time whether he understood or just made it up, but then I asked, do all these people just get told what to say?

You can't "unbreak" the broken,you can only break the unbroken to break the break of the unbroken, for me, you cannot unbreak me, for I am already broken,so you have no need to break the break because I am not unbroken.

Got told at Council meet by tech standards bloke the windscreen regs was to do with what the windscreen repair blokes could repair as in the limits 10mm & 40mm respectfully. Bloke also informed the article….
www.motester.co.uk/mot-trade-information-and-services/mot-trade/mot-trade-news/special-notice-s-n-2-14
was written by someone in charge of VOSA (DVSA) tech standards at the time & not by Mr Punter.
To date have not had a formal reply to a formal request made & acknowledged by the trade liaison officer.
The same DVSA tech bloke informed at the meet, DVSA have not had an inverted appeal against windscreen damage.
"materially affecting the view of the road"which is the bugbear,either 10mm/40mm in drivers view is a fail or it aint, at present all we got is here say & there ya go.

Well said aylesburyjock . But as you've been there since the beginning too I'm hoping you'll be staying for more. More good has come from what we've done then if we'd just let things go on as they were. Most of the time we get no thanks (often the complete opposite) but we still do it. There is more to do and we'll keep doing it. We'll still get no thanks, no MBE's or knighthoods like the people in "officialdom" we're trying to educate but there ya go.

You know I love you though

Wouldn't it be nice to get a reference number everytime we asked the help desk for advice, this could be added to the appropriate rfr thereby putting the ball firmly in their court.
But that would mean them taking responsibility for their decisions !!!

The newness has gone off that bit!!!
