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?

Council level of stupidity at Abbey NationalMy Mrs and I decided to move away from Milton Keynes down to Devon. So in tidying up our affairs she closed her Abbey National account.
It had £1.31 in the account. However as part of their "customer satisfaction" they'd changed the bank to one with desks and no cashiers. So as they don't actually have cash (It's a fucking bank!!!!) they have to issue a cashiers cheque to close the account. Fine.
Months later post catches us up at the new address. Turns out for the privelidge of getting £1.31 out Abbey charge £3 for issuing a cashiers cheque putting the account overdrawn and not closing the account!!!!
So as it's taken months for the statements to find us they are now charging interest on it!!!
We complain, write to them etc and they reverse the interest leaving the charge. After more letters they reverse the charge but no more interest has been charged!!!
By now it's taken over 6 months to close a bank account that had £1.31 in it and cost them and us a damn lot more than that in phone calls and letters.
Stupid bureaucrats. I mean, a bank with no money!??? Pricks.
