It's your interpretation of what's on web sites --- and your resultant assertions, not the same thing as as other possible interpretations, or the law.
old regulations -----to the new photo licence in 2006, guess that didn't happen!
"regulations" or just a statement of intent, one of the uncountable things that have never happened. I certainly don't know what "old" regulation, to which you refer, had a regulatory timetable or deadline for such a move.
Tootle pip!!
