Quick call to DVLA should get you the right information and you know it will be accurate

Is your question to do with your age Brian? Are you 70 yet? In the UK you only have to declare you're still fit (I think) so don't need to have a medical.

I would guess that if you passed your test in the UK before 1997 then you don't need a special licence or test to tow a small trailer or caravan.

Welcome back to the UK with all it's fine weather, good food and drink, impeccable good manners, lawfulness and an altruistic government.

France to Devon, that's a fair distance to move, I thought it would be the wrong way to follow the sun. We'll be near Buckfast in Devon for a few days next week where our son has been surprised by the comparatively low temperatures. He is on the slopes of a valley though so seems to avoid some of the weather extremes.
