The scumbags that wreaked havoc on the NHS systems have probably stopped me having a test ride later today. The whole of the .GOV domain appears to be down including the page where you get a licence code that some dealers insist on before they let you out. Car hire companies also need them now there is no paper counterpart to the driving licence so I can imagine there are lots of unhappy people on both sides of the desk at Hertz/Alamo/etc all over the country.
If it's not back up before 1pm it will be two weeks before I have time to try again
