Spoof replies to Railtrack solicitors
Has this been mentioned here before? Really sorry if it has. I did a quick search for "Railtrack" on b3ta before posting it and got some amusing results, but not this one. It's a bit elderly now but has remained as far as I know well under the radar.
The story goes that until the company went tits up in 2002, much of Britains railway infrastructure was operated by Railtrack plc. The company was sold to Network Rail.
The removal of Railtrack from the Companies House register allowed a Mr. John Hein to register "Railtrack Ltd" as a company in May 2003.
Those looking up the company would note that the Registered Office is that of an Edinburgh tenement and that the company has remained dormant since incorporation. The rebirth of Railtrack has caused confused solicitors, debt collectors and private individuals to address correspondence to Railtrack Ltd, and in turn, to receive increasingly entertaining replies, copies of which are in the PDF document linked above.
My own favourite bit runs as follows:
"Having had a wide ranging, frank and open discussion with the Rev Baxter this morning, during which the terms, “wankers”, “local authority jobsworthlesses”, “useless cunts”, “lazy idle incompetent pompous bastards” and “just what you expect from the public sector” were freely bandied about in relation to yourselves, Rev Baxter has directed me to apologise for the inexcusable factual error in my letter in relation to the Right Honourable Member for Hull East.
Railtrack Limited fully accepts that the said failed chef was never employed as a cabin boy and apologises unreservedly to the council for the hurt to its corporate fundament and damage to its public image caused by this false and calumnious statement."

this is amazing...
very entertaining read, although some of the personal injury claims make me :( as to what a greedy, litigious society we've become.
