Man its been worth it just for the responses from you ladies!!!
I mentioned the need to know exactly who is registered for what (via DVLA obviously cos Im just a 'stupid woman') so we 'can sort this mess out once and for all' ...
He rang the log book company for the car explaining he had lost his and needed an new one to transfer ownership.... I couldnt believe how helpful he was and so quick too, hmmmmmmmmm!!! His explanation? 'I dont want to make life hard for you'. Bless.
I may be a stupid woman but at least Im a stupid woman with a load of vans, that he thinks I dont know about. Unlike him I am able to hold my own water. You never know when it might come in useful...
