When I was still married I bought SUE 1 for my then wife's birthday as a surprise. Her name? Felicity. Only joking. Sue.
It hadn't arrived in time for her birthday but i had received written confirmation from the agent and the dvla, so come the big day I said to her "I've ordered your present but it hasn't arrived yet"
I waited a while, it never arrived.
I forgot about it.
After a number of months she said to me "did my birthday present ever show up?"
"er, no" I said, embarrassed
I rang up the company, only to find out they don't send the plates through the post, you go to a Halfords or wherever and have them made up
Oh dear. I must thank my ex for mentioning this to our friends over dinner that weekend
