Maybe they will extend it permanently, like it used to be in the good old days before the BRS butted their nose. (Sorry couldn't resist it).

It would certainly save us a lot of ridiculous unnecessary time and aggro. Just charge us a sensible figure check we are legal not criminals they know the people of reasonable standing who have lived here long term and contributed.

Simple . Job Done.
