Bless.

My local authority (Tameside) has sent me a threatening letter today warning me to pay unpaid council tax arrears within 7 days or face enforcement action. Can't say fairer than that.

It would appear that my standing order that I set up last April was slightly inaccurate, ho hum, so they money wired to them, no problem.

Then I thought about it. I've shortchanged them (though the term is debatable) and they're quick off the mark making all sorts of threats.

I wish the highways dept. were just as fast when there's something amiss!
