I used to be a Civil Servant, and could sign these things for people, obviously when I left I no longer could. I've often wondered if, when I retire and am in receipt of my Civil Service pension, I will be able do do them again in my capacity as a "retired Civil Servant".
Need a Driving licence but how?

A shopkeeper can sign; surely you're still of at least an equivalent decent sort?
They have to be able to identify you and also hold a driving licence and include those details on the photo .
No never met any of those .

I am sure many solicitors drive. They are not quite up there to have chauffeurs. If you remove your dark glasses, I am sure practically anyone can identify you. I don't think it costs anything to ask them.
They have to know you , DVLC are very clear about that .Solicitor is smart enough not to id a complete stranger without proof of identity .

Yeah but what is the definition of "know"? I know you from this forum; you could PM me a zoom link, I could see you animated, see you hold up your expired passport and check it's you, see you hold up a selection of bank cards, bills etc and other things that you wouldn't have if you weren't you and I could sign the back of a photo
I find it incredible that there is no one in your past or present life that can do this in a face to face, personal context with an increased amount of "know"

I'm sure I did the post office check and send thing before where they did the photos for me, and signed everything that was needed etc for a small fee
Post Office will take your photo, countersign it and send it off for you. You will need some other form of identity, such as a bank statement, council tax, DWP letter etc.
I'm about to change mine next week, (10 year rule). and will go to the PO as I don't have a passport.

Show him your council tax bill then. To id myself at the post office for parcels, I just show credit card. I think you are getting worked up for nothing.
Obtaining a driving licence is not the same as collecting a parcel . I accompanied my sister in law to a solicitor on Friday , they asked for id , she had a council tax bill, driving licence and expired passport , these fell short of their id requirements .

What else did they require ?
A non expired form of ID would be a good start! 
Get a cab.
