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

Dear nPower
Under normal circumstances, I would be more than happy to fill in the form you sent me and return it by the 24th of February. However, since the letter in which you make this request is dated the 22nd, and the envelope is postmarked as the 23rd, and since the letter didn't arrive until the 24th, I will struggle to accommodate your request on this occasion.

I'd've liked to have told you this over the phone, and maybe to have provided you with the required information that way as well - you've not provided a URL or email address by which I can provide it, so the phone is the only realistic option other than driving to your address in Swindon. But the line is permanently engaged. I am curious to know whether there is more than one person working in the relevant office.
