14 March 2007 Brick Walls


It’s funny how one small statement can turn your world upside down. I phoned the people at the tax office where you register your car when you have bought it (we have not bought it yet, but working on it). She politely said “You can only register a car if you have been resident for 6 months”. . . . . . . . . Oh, that completely screws us up. I double checked with her, but to no avail. Six months. We can only be in the country for 3 months at a time. Could it be that our plans could come unstuck at such an early stage? We decided to have a cup of tea and coffee (I had a sticky to comfort myself). . . . . . . . . And had a think. Go to a different state, lie, go home, phone a friend. We decided to phone Ken (a really nice guy we had met in Manchester airport who was English, but lives in Florida not far from us.). He said, you can use a \Florida Driving licence to register a car. . . . . . . . So the hunt was back on. Get a Florida Driving licence and all (may) will be well.
