If you have Oil of Ulay it must be rancid by now.

The name was changed to (just) "Olay" in 1999 because of the
connotation "Ulay" had in the US.

You could sue them but I think a court might find that it's reasonable
to expect it's capacity for working as an agent for getting laid to be
self limiting after a few months, becoming negative after a few years.

Cite?.
AFAIK, Ins Co's don't require you to have a valid driving
licence. Only that you have held, or are not disqualified from
holding the appropriate licence.
I think you're getting confused with road fund tax, but it's not
true for that either.
And if you're caught driving without tax, or a valid driving
licence, it doesn't automatically result in a charge for driving
without insurance. Which it would if what you say is true.

Any policy documentation.

Wrong. It's HOLD, not held. You have to have a current licence.
