Council CuntsStallion Explosion writes "I was in a record shop in Melbourne, flicking through the vinyl, when I found a record entitled 'Hackney Council Are A Bunch Of Cunts'"
We agree.
Have you been trapped in the relentless petty minded bureaucracy of your local council?
Why does it require 3 forms of ID to get a parking permit when the car in question is busy receiving a parking ticket right outside the parking office?
Or do you work for Hackney Council?

i'm a property lawyeri deserve to win this qotw just for having to deal with every element of every council in the area.
however, this first story happened to my friend caro and her new husband, whose name is peter tarand. they live in st-reatham.
caro: we've just moved in; we'd like to set up a direct debit.
council cunt (cc): no, you have to wait until we have sent you a bill.
caro: no we don't.
cc: yeah, it's for data protection.
caro: riiiiiiiight. so you won't let me set up the account today?
cc: no. wait for the bill.
SIX MONTHS LATER
bailiff: we're looking for peter tarand.
caro (who had forgotten all about the council tax, what with getting married, moving flats etc): he's not in. er. why?
bailiff: got a warrant here for unpaid council tax.
caro: we never got a bill. wait here...
cc: council tax, how can i help?
caro: you never sent us a bill. this is mrs peter tarand of flat 3, 5 dawlish road.
cc: yes we sent numerous bills.
caro: no. you didn't.
cc: yes we did. they went to "mr philip tarran, flat 3, 15 dawlish road". you should have known they were for you.
caro: %^*%($^. OI. BAILIFF. PUT DOWN THAT FUCKING TV...
also, why is it that the council tax department of ALL councils picks up the phone on the first ring but every other department makes you wait for about an hour on a 0870 number!?
