just to clear things up ALL paper licences are being phased out starting in 2015 .That means that if you move house or get an endorsement after that date you will have to get a photo licence ,the new paper counterpart of the photo licence is also being phased out as it is not needed .Also it is likely that the legal requirement to have a certificate of insurance will be removed thus allowing people to tax a car without producing proof of insurance (the same as the mot certificate requirement was removed some years ago) .
Also just to be clear it is the photo on the licence that has to be updated every 10 yrs ,this does not mean your licence is invalid ,your licence is still valid untill you are 70
like i said in my OP ..... it's no biggie but the fuss some are kicking up is totally unwarranted
