How do you renew ahead of time? I can't seem to click the "save" button
after going to account options. There was the value of 59 quid for the

whatever it uses. I'll just wait for the money to go out manually.

£43 compared to £58, both are inclusive VAT. I renewed this way last
year, though it was cheaper last year :-(

:-) Though you can renew it ahead of time. I suppose that would be
extending it rather than renewing...
