All we would like is a bit of common sense applied, the administration should be there to serve the people, but it does not.
When I retired from the council I was sent a final bill for my work mobile phone, as I didnt use it for personal calls, the bill was ten pence, yes 10p, it had a stamp on that cost more than that, it was in an envelope, and typed by a typist. I duly sent a cheque, I think at this stage the penny dropped. It would have cost more to cash than the face value, it never showed up on my bank statment as cashed.
The point of this though is that it was not the politicians that did this, it was the administrators just applying the rules as they thought best, and not the common sense rule.
