Update for anyone interested...
I have emailed "Ride" magazine who I subscribe to, for their opinion on this, they have advised me to contact the DVLA as that is who holds the info on our licences. I did so & a very informative chap said that no foreign country can endorse a UK licence & if the foreign authorities ask the DVLA they will not pass on info to them. He said that he has no information on this ever changing, basically if you offend in the foreign country it stays there.
Armed with this information & also further advised by "Ride" I have wrote a letter to the German driver agency saying that; I have paided their fine for the offence & since leaving Germany in May I have not used their roads since, so have endured more than a month ban that they wish to endorse my licence with. I have also stated that the DVLA have stated that no foreign country can endorse a UK licence. Also as a foot note I have asked them to write to me in English as I do not speak or read German. Then I have "Google Translated" the lot into German.
It was posted yesterday (15/01/2016) & will see what happens with that...!
