Phone is fine if you happen to be able to phone whilst they are available and whilst their computer is working but when Busman first moved up here he had the dickens of a job trying to pay his council tax because you can't exactly phone them whilst you're driving a coach! The unemployed on the other hand (of whatever race creed or colour) have got all the time in the world to sit in a queue with a little ticket in their hand.

I even tried going on his behalf but they wanted forms signing by the householder himself. Whenever either of us was able to get through on the phone about anything it was always "our computer is down at the moment could you call back later"

That's frustrating enough - but then to get a summons for non-payment when you've been dancing through hoops trying to pay - well it takes the biscuit.
