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?

A little warning for you all...If a council sends you a letter, say a letter telling you that you need to pay them Council Tax urgently or else the bailiffs will come round, then as long as they can prove they sent it, you are officially deemed to have received it. No matter that the Royal Mail lost the letter in transit and you never saw it - if the council put it in a postbox, you officially got it, read it and understood it. You can probably imagine the extent to which this rule can land you and me in the shit.
My advice: challenge them for the proof. They almost certainly won't have any genuine proof other than something internal saying you should get a letter.
Thanks to Bath & Nort East Somerset Council for the valuable lesson in how we little people are all screwed.
