Re: Question on driving licence application form

I see on the application form that particular section tells people to See Note 14.

Translated from Greek Note 14 states:
If you have any doubts about your health status consult your GP or opthalmologist before completing the application form.

Re: Rain at last

Fortunately at the weekend we cleaned all the flyscreens, windows, patio doors, balconies and patios and created our own mud bath then.
So when it rained this morning everything was clean and just needed a quick squeegee.
