still forgot

looked at the reminder and thought shit gotta tax the car this month put it in a safe place 'too remind me' and completely forgot about it
All too often I put things in a safe place to stop myself from losing it and then forget where the safe place was

1981 they were put up in Dartford

The company I used to work for opened in 1993 as Racal and had 150 fixed sites by 1995.....

Maybe andrex should write to you telling you that your bog roll has run out to so you dont get skidders?

MAN UP! You're a fucking adult and your life is your responsibility!

Perhaps it's because people would then moan that the majority of people would have to pay extra so that the minority can have their arses wiped for them, which would piss me off at least.

And those who say stick the sticker on, its likely to be up the top of the windscreen so it doesnt look ridiculous and how often do you look up there?

And for those saying you dont foget to go shopping or get reminders. Do you go shopping once a year? No its a weekly thing so you dont forget as you get into a routine
Quite easy to forget about something that happens once a year and usually on diff dates depending when garage can book it in. Sorry we cant all be perfect like some!

Surely it would invalidate your insurance if you didn't have an up to date MOT?
