Is it me or have they changed the animation style in some aspects? Vaggie seems different (head seems pointy+moves differently), some head movements seem delayed, etc. Subtle in parts so I'm not sure if I'm imagining it.

Same here: every day for the last fortnight. Our poor little 1 year old chihuahua puppy (currently recovering from knee surgery) has been stressed all the time making us the same. I've signed petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73... which might be a start.

The whole "new plates" thing is baffling to me as a Brit: cars are usually issued one plate when they are sold and that's it. When they are inspected and taxed it all just goes on a database without an office visit (and prior to computerisation, they sent out paper tax discs for your windscreen)
