I just went to the police station to produce my documents (from when the jobsworth policeman stopped me in Norfolk on Boxing Day). The nice policeman behind the desk recognised me from back when I used to run the local MAG group, and we chatted a bit while he checked my driving licence and MoT certificate. Then he reached my insurance certificate.
"Got one that's valid for the time you were stopped?" he asked.
"Er. What?" I wittily responded.
"This ran out in September" he points out, handing it back.
I read it, and he was right. And so I came home to look for the new one. And then I remembered... I was kind of depressed around then... I wasn't opening my post... so I checked the big pile of post that I still haven't really caught up on... and there it was:
"Invitation to renew your insurance policy".

I am so very screwed.
