I'm in the North West. My TV guide says it's on Monday.

I'd struggle with that and I'm 20 years younger!

THE DVLA
Not checked in on them in a while but did today and it's nice to see they're still a pack of inept fecal pipes. Sent off my V5 to change address some months ago, told the delay is because they're dealing with some sort of virus round the office. Tax reminder obviously went to the old address, found out it's untaxed today. Can't tax it without a V5. Ring the DVLA they tell you to use their online chat, use the online chat they say they can't help over chat and you must ring them 'eventually you'll get through'. I did not get through(apparently, the staff are so sick to death of all this relaxing furlough they've planned a week of slightly less relaxing striking). Two Post Offices later,all the while ringing the DVLA I get taxes for an extra £25 fee* *unless they just took my money to have me on as both the DVLA webchat and the first post office said this was impossible.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
I had this with the GSXR750 I bought a while back. I got the V5 through eventually... two weeks after I sold it.
After waiting two months to tax and use it I actually managed to get through to the DVLA on the phone and they told me I could tax it using the VIN. There had been no need for me to wait for the V5 like I'd been told by the DVLA originally.
