SALLY...Part 175. WHAT ? WHAT ? ARE THEY NOW CALLING ME A LIAR ?

The forms went back to the relevant Government Office and got scanned onto their computer yesterday so when I phoned them today seven months after they revoked my driving licence whilst medical tests were carried out which proved me to be fit and well within a few weeks, the operative told me for about the thirtieth time that a procedure had to followed and would take time !

Once I had explained my position AGAIN and even emphasised that my Cardilogy Consultant had both written and telephoned them to pass me fit the man replied, "We don't know for sure that that person was genuinely who she said she was." or words to that effect !

"WHAT ?" I shouted ! "WHAT ? Are you telling me that a Hospital Consultant Cardiologist phoning up and talking to your medical team might not have been genuine ?"

He tried to backpeddle but the damage was done and I'm now waiting for his superviser to phone me back with undoubtedly some lame excuse !

Am I now to be branded a liar ?

SALLY...PART 174. AND THE DRIVING BAN GOES ON !

I have been banned from driving for feeling unwell since last October but was finally allowed to reapply for my licence a fortnight ago after my Consultant telephoned the agency responsible and gave me the all clear !

I had to fill in two medical enquiry forms, one about epileptic fits....which I've never had, and one about heart attacks and loss of consciousness....which I've also never had and got refused on the grounds that I DIDN'T COMPLETE THE FORMS !

The poor woman I telephoned got a real earbashing when she told me they were sending the forms back to me for completion !

"BUT MY CONSULTANT TELEPHONED YOU AND SPOKE TO YOUR DOCTOR !" I'm afraid I yelled ! "WHAT MORE CAN I DO ?"

"Just complete the forms Sir and resubmit them." replied the agent to whom I'd just explained that her forms were not relevant to ME !

"But you get three thousand applications a day, so another agent told me and this will take another three weeks before you even scan it and you're RUINING MY LIFE !"

"Just complete the forms Sir and resubmit them."

"BUT aren't you listening to me ? They are NOT RELEVANT !"

"Just complete the forms Sir and resubmit them."

At this point I agreed to do what she said and haven't stopped crying for days !
