Hi GrannyIris I have never heard of an IDP. I correctly assumed it stands for International Driving Permit. I've just visited the POst Ofdfice website www.postoffice.co.uk/international-driving-permit and it seems that you 'need' one for every country I put in!
We visit New Zealand regularly and often hire cars there, and I have never been asked for an IDP, yet the site says I need one.
It sounds from your post that it is a new requirement to need them in Europe. I think it might be a good idea for you to start a new thread on this, as I'm sure I'm not the only one who doesn't know about them!
Is there such a thing as delicious ready meals?
How do you acknowledge Easter.
