This is a question Corporate Idiocy

Comedian Al Murray recounts a run-in with industrial-scale stupidity: "Car insurance company rang, without having sent me a renewal letter, asking for money. Made them answer security questions." In the same vein, tell us your stories about pointless paperwork and corporate quarter-wits

Have you accounted for the depreciation/consumables and maintenance on your car?
I did mine the other day: it worked out to about 25p a mile, and I do all my own services and many other jobs myself. And that's on a second hand diesel averaging 50mpg!

Okay, that pushes it up. But I could get 4 more people there with not much more wear and tear on my car, and spread that cost across all 5 of us. So 5p a mile. A train takes *hundreds* of people.

I'm not buying your argument, train-lover. Plus, all trains smell of wee.
