An email from HM Revenue and Customs claimed they had sent me a refund. This seemed to run counter to my expectations. According to their email address their admin is in Guatemala. I'm glad I checked before clicking.
I arrived home from Devon to a nasty letter from HMRC telling me I owed them 2.5k.An hour on hold later after they worked out that they had f
ked up and had accidentally included the BIK for the company car I havent had for 20 months I have found out that I still owe them money for underpayment of taxes....£4
I can live with that

Yes, yes. Thank you all for your kind attentions.

I signed on yesterday at the JobCentre. It is no longer a pencil on a piece of string; it is now electronic. The lady I was dealing with told my signature was 98% similar to my stored signature and therefore I was who I said I was. I asked what is acceptable. She said 80% or greater similarity would be accepted as being me.
That's quite worrying, as apparently over 90% of our DNA is similar to that of a chimpanzee, so how do they stop chimpanzees turning up and signing on?Awake now and functioning at around 60% mental and physical capacity.

If you have ever passed the jobcentre on signing on day you would be confident that the chimps ARE actually signing on

Seems a lot more civilised now. Last time I was there some years ago I was yelled at by a nutter of a woman who worked there for using my phone. She clearly thought she had told me not use it every day for a year and was at the end of her rope about it. I mentioned to the woman who was interviewing me on Thursday that it seemed better now and she asked in what way. When I mentioned about an angry lady who had worked there she said, "Oh, Jean. She's gone now." There was no hesitation. Angry lady at the JobCentre: Jean.Not aimed at you Dicky btw, more aiumed at the professional government artists we get around here.
