Sigh.
Just had a call from the insurance company.
They 'just noticed' that I put in an email too, about needing documents, and therefore need 'coverage' for Sunday.
The bit of paper they posted this morning would have been from Tuesday, rather than backdated.
So I've arranged for a fax copy tomorrow, and it sent out by 'special delivery' for by midday thursday.
So regarding preparation for Maelstrom, I'm still going to be helping, but I'm _not_ going to be leaving the house before that piece of paper arrives...
(Unless the fax arrives wednesday, and proves acceptable).
Failing that, well I guess I just get to go ask for an extension.
(*mutters about insurance schedule not being enough proof of cover*)
Edit: Just found this article from the BBC. Scroll down a bit, and have a look at the 'average fine' for driving without insurance... No wonder people do it - I'd have to get nicked 6 times a year (ok under the assumption that I got 'average' each time, and didn't lose my license) in order to pay the same amount as my insurance is currently.
