You can't have it both ways.

There are two sorts of jobs, there are true jobs and jobs just to placate unions and politicians, if the private sector, and always remember the private sector are the wealth creators, because without them nobody works, ran their business like the public sector they'd go bankrupt in six months, the public sector is and always has been top heavy with clerical staff, even now in the age of the computer, which on the face of it should help to speed administration up. if you had a private building firm that had 50 trades men and labourers on their books along with 50 office staff how long would they be in business, not very long, but the public sector wonder on blindly financed by the tax payer, and nobody says a dickybird, they just keep throwing money at it year after year, and not only that when they do retire they'll get a pension far better than ordinary joe in the street

why cant the muppet keep hold of the documents and take them upstairs?

i know there are cuts but is leg power that expensive ?

Also if asked for proof of ID the council now expect you to mail in your passport or driving licence or drop it off in the mail box outside the building so they can scan it and send it back to you by mail.

Has the world become so complacant that people are willing to leave documents that are basically your identity in the hands of a muppet with a scanner and the shambles known as royal mail ?

i never let vital documents out of my sight and i cetrainly wouldnt expect to be parted from them for up to a week.God knows what could happen to them and they arnt cheap to replace either

Totally agree with you. This kind of thing seems designed to drive a bloke mad. I really hate it when they ring you up stating your name and you respond normally as you do on the phone, one human being to another, when they suddenly have the cheek to ask you three questions to prove you are the person they rang in the first place.
My identity is so undesirable that I wish someone would nick it, debts 'n all.

I tell them that I should be asking the questions to prove who they are. I then tell them to write to me.

It's a bit like Shakespeare, thinking he'd mastered the art of comedy in Hamlet, decided to write a script for a 'Carry On' film.
You couldn't make it up. Unfortunately in your case, Less, you don't have to.
Still, the bright side is you're keeping a lot of incompetent people in work making life hard for people like yourself.
If you can see through your tears to type and they don't cut off your power, broadband and air supply please let us know what happens.

Civil service cuts = poor service, this was expected so 'they' devised a scheme whereby you could try to jump through more hoops to get 'redress' for maladministration.

I have browsed this forum searching for posts mentioning 'civil servants'.
Some members were pleased that there were to be such cuts - are you pleased now?

went down to the town hall today and i reakon the next step will be to shut the area once used by people to pay council tax and discuss problems and just leave the letterbox in operation to avoid heating costs to the room once used.

not to worry though because as the recorded message saya when waiting to speak to someone you can always hop online and aske them questions which isnt much use to people who dont have internet
