Sooo True

[Hidden in reply to jimmyw123]

thanks Jimmy. I can get very very grumpy though with lazy little bureaucrats who quote 'policy' at people whose needs do not fit a mythical set of criteria instead of using their brains to ease and prevent further suffering. Unfortunately this mind set pervades all levels of our governance from the kid who answers the. council social services telephone line to the Prime Minister and his ministers who are governed by civil servants. Of course nothing has changed since Yes Minister!

i know exactly what you mean s/standing,, ,,

i remember some time ago i had a visitor from the council, re. council tax. Now i live on my own, in a large static mobile home , on a residential site. This chap who visited was about 6ft 4 , ,, first question "Do you live alone?" answer "Yes" ,,, wait for it, second question,, Does anyone live with you!!! ???,, [no answer to that lol :D]

It went on like that until i lost the rag, and told him in no uncertain terms, about his "code of conduct" and that i was phoning the council to complain about him, and his stroppy ways, He then lost the rag, jumped up, then whilst he was stomping out the door [i shouldnt laugh ] he cracked his head on the top of the front door framing, and if a may say so,, it was a"real beaut". he actually drew blood then staggered off muttering swear words, I asked him if he was ok [worse than his questions lol ] Again,i got worse swear words [wont print them ]

Anyhow i did phone the council ,,press one for this, two for that etc etc. etc.They told me they would look in to the matter then phone me,,,, They then phoned me back a couple of weeks later and said " Mr "such and such" has handed in his notice ,, and packed in, so no action can be taken" ,,,, Off course i couldn't resist asking the golden question ,,, Hows his head ?? [again, i just couldn't help it ]

The old adage comes to mind "what goes around comes around "

true story ,,, jimmy lol

oh jimmy that gave me a good giggle. I have just been filling in the PIP form and can't quite figure out how to tell them how much Help I get(which ticks the boxes) when I live alone and don't get any help which is why I am applying! It's all madness invented by the loonies

[jimmyw123 in reply to Hidden]

i think you've explained it best

"madness invented by the loonies"

it reminds me of the old joke about the chap applying for benefits from the old social security

question [1] do you own your home ,, answer,," yes!! i have a mansion and two bungalows worth £500,000 "

question two,, do you have any assets,, answer "yes, shares in north sea oil ,, bonds worth,,,,,,, £5, 000, 000 ,,,

the social security chap says "YOUR JOKING!! "

the chap then said "WELL, YOU STARTED IT!!! ha ha ha "

if you didnt laugh at times you'd cry

i hope things work out for you s/standing,, best regards jimmy

and to you. Keep breathing and rock on!
