    I was speaking to my car dealer mate (regular visiter to Edinburgh DVLA office) and he was explaining to me why at the moment all the new cars registered in the Edinburgh, Lothian, Borders and Central areas are getting reg prefix 'TN' as apposed to a Scottish plate such as 'SK, SL, SM, SN' etc.
    He was saying that Edinburgh office has had such a demand on lately and they have staff shortages as well as the fact that they are just slow resulting in new car reg requests having to go to the Carlisle office.

    There seems to be inconsistency between the regional offices, which I suppose is to be expected.

    Glasgow, Aberdeen and Inverness all seem to be able to turn applications around much quicker than Edinburgh just now. Guess where ours is?

    Never mind, got some more piccies through today from Clair at Menzies and the car is looking very nice indeed.

    well here in Larbert the DVLA told us to go to Glasgow for putting the number on our Audi. So that is good to hear. Need the retention document through and it is all go. Already got my German plates on order.
