Way back I worked with someone who had worked a lot of years in the Matlock Post Office doing road tax, might even have been a DVLA Tax Office, and when it was shut, customers used to post the applications through his house letterbox. They all knew each other.
Once I wanted to tax my MGB after a Sorn winter, to do an event on the Sunday, which I think must have been 1st of March or April.. So Saturday I called at the local Post Office. They refused to tax it in case I used it Saturday.
I went to the main Post Office a few miles away, told them what happened, they taxed it no problem.
