NeighboursI used to live next door to a pair of elderly naturists, only finding out about their hobby when they bade me a cheerful, saggy 'Hello' while I was 25 feet up a ladder repairing the chimney. Luckily, a bush broke my fall, but the memory of a fat, naked man in an ill-fitting wig will live with me forever.

I hada similar thing with the bloody council tax. They ignored my phone calls telling them when and where I was moving to and never sent a bill.
Finally, about 9 months after I moved I get a letter telling me that I'd been taken to court in my absence (the letter was barely English - I had to fill in the gaps to make it readable by humans). All very well and good, apart from, in their letter they claim to know when I moved (although this was not correct, it was at least before the court date). So they knowingly sent bills to a place they knew I'd moved from, ignored my many (5) calls asking them when I would receive a bill, then I was summonsed to court (at the wrong address) 6 days after my failure to pay a bill that they knowingly sent to the wrong address.
Then, after having to complain to my MP, I finally get a bill - a bill that claims I was living in my old place and my new place similtaniously and as such, I must pay two council tax bills.
It makes you wonder what the hell they spend the money on - it sure as hell isn't staff.
Phew. Good to get it off my chest.
I still haven't received a correct bill.
