something and nothing
My council tax bill for 2003 arrived and I was over joyed to find out it had already been paid as the fuckwits had hideously charged me the previous year, the bill was £0.00. it gave me a small chuckle and I put it in the bin. Several weeks pass and I receive another bill for £0.00, telling me this amount was now overdue and i must make payment urgently. So I rang them, how do I pay a zero amount??? after about an hour of them umming and ahing it was decided that I didn't need to pay. end of things or so I thought, but oh nose, I went to Iraq for 3 months and the postal service over there isn't exactly the best. on my return home i had various bills and baliffs letters demanding the payment of £0.00 plus a court date of about three days after my return. Super-frigging-duper, I got the last laugh when the magistrate (sp??) had the rare condition of common sense, not only did he throw the whole matter out but he recognised my regimental tie, he served in the same unit as me but 30 years earlier, on hearing where I'd been he went mental at the baliffs and council officals, forcing them to write me a letter of apology. Crowning turd in the water pipe was that I ended up on a credit blacklist. Cheers Cardiff city council, or Culeless Cunting Cretins as I prefer to call them.
