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?

British GasI had been in my flat for 10 months when I received a stern call from a debt collector on behalf of British Gas, instructing me that I needed to pay several hundred pounds for my gas bill. When I told them that I neither lived in the property in discussion, nor even had a gas connection in my property, the bailiff sounded unconvinced and said he would be back in touch. I called British Gas and found that I had registered to have my electric changed to BG, but it had never gone through, deciding instead to attach my name to an adjacent flat.
British Gas then duly apologised for the inconvenience.
Since then, I received a few more calls from bailiffs, then eventually a call from a BG operative who was 'outside my flat' and about to turn off my gas unless I paid immediately.
Go on then. Do your worst.
Sorted it out in the end, but if you live in a block of flats in shoreditch - sorry about your gas connection. Blame BG.
Had a similar encounter with EDF energy, wherein they charged me for a property I no longer lived in, and also sent the bill to an address which I have never lived in. Cue more debt collectors on the phone.
This issue actually got sorted out twice. The first time I was told it was all over, it happened again six months later. Same property, same situation.
Think I'll get my next flatmate to deal with the bills and I'll just pay him.
