to all us old enough to remember them , dont you wish that you still had one■■?. i had to change mine in 1987 for a change of address and got a normal licence back.
i know it was only a brown book but atleast it set you out as different to the car driver. the same could be said for the psv holders badge ( i never had one of them).
I don’t know if its just me being thick but i find the new ones really confusing

Now you’ve got me thinkig, … where the hell is my old black one ? I am sure it was retuened with the new style one.
Yes, I miss the old black book, it was kind of distinctive but I was so pleased to move into the modern age away from those foldy green things when issued with my smart plastic photo card.
Then I came to France and they made me change it for a French pink one 
Salut, David.
I moved house a few years ago and had to apply for a new driving licence. It was just after vocational licenses started being dealt with by DVLA and I got mine back !! 
Still got it now. Much nicer than the plastic bloody credit card thing I have now.
When I renew my licence and sent in my brown book I got it back with my new licence - I just keep it for memories.
I’v still got my PSV licence badge but my HGV erm…
I’ve got a pile of my Grandad’s old driving license’s dating from 1919 - 1974. He learnt to drive in WW1. He was pointed to a truck and told to move it, when he replied he couldn’t drive, he was told to learn quickly and did. Some training methods never change 
I’ve also got an old ‘Manchester Strret Guide’, it is just a list of street names in Alphabetical order in one column. Adjoining Street in the next column, and nearest main thoroughfare in the next.
Eg:-
Street & Postal district Adjoining Street Nearest Main Thoroughfare
Textile St. Man 12 Gorton Lane Hyde Road
I think this was more for people who had a rough idea of where the main roads were or where certain roads went to, I have know idea when it was published.
Yes I do and wish I still had one! I got mine taken away.
