On 1 October 2014 a small paper disc which has been a feature on car windscreens in the UK for 93 years will be consigned to history.
From 1 October 2014, the paper tax disc will no longer need to be displayed on a vehicle although vehicle excise duty (VED) must still be paid. If you have a tax disc with any months left to run after this date, it can be removed from the vehicle and destroyed from 1 October onwards. Your vehicle will still be registered as taxed in the database of the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA).

In fact, despite continuing to be responsible for most of their traditional domestic duties in UK homes, British mums are now taking on more ‘dad’ roles than ever before.

If you’re looking for some fun and companionship as well as a guarantee of getting...
