Might I just take a moment to point out that...

The employees of HM Revenue & Customs based in Cumbernauld are poorly-trained shaved monkeys who couldn't count their buttcheeks on both hands.

Argghh. I have to do Intrastats for HM&R Customs for my work. You should try ringing them up and asking for tarriff codes for various products. It's like talking to deaf people. "SORRY, WHAT WAS THAT? WHAT ITEM CLASSIFICATION?"

My sympathies.

These people are too stupid to work Intrastat.

Arggghhhh. :O

Have a heart. Have you ever been to Cumbernauld? Pity the poor buggers.

My taxes pay their salaries. The least they could do is *attempt* to earn them.

Bahaha I know what you mean entirely. They have had me jumping through hoops backwards to fix something that was THEIR fault in my day job this week.

(hello I have had years of seeing you on redshira's comment threads and now find you are also associated with one of my new favourite people snapesbabe - you have good taste!)

I think you'll find it's RedShira and I who have good taste - Puddingcat is AWESOME.

Did they perchance do something to upset you? Or (more likely)did they fail to do something?
I thought all govt depts. were like that until I had dealings with the pensions people at the Burnley office, where to my surprise they were courteous, helpful, knew what they were talking about, and expedited all my business with no problems at all in a record time. I were properly gobsmacked!!

Yes, this.
