tony blair is a tightarse

It turns out that if your council tax account is in credit when you close it, they send you a statement telling you so. How nice. I'm sure the cheque will come any day now.

Time passes. Maybe I'll call them and find out when it will be here. Now I'm unemploy... freelance.. I need all the cash I can get.

"Sorry sir, I can't just send you a cheque. You have to write in and request that we pay you it back"

tony, you're a genius
