I recently happened upon this article about The Englishman’s travails with Gummint, and I passed the link on to the kids as the place under discussion happens to be where their mother is buried.
Daughter’s comment (and Quote Of The Day):
“I feel like this is the definition of bureaucracy.”
I would have put it somewhat differently (with much more venom and bad language), but I think she’s encapsulated the issue perfectly.
Re: daughter’s succinct summary.
As Shakespeare would say these days, “Brevity. Wit.”
Wow, Kim. I read this at the time and didn’t put two and two together.
Your daughter clearly had good parents.
Either the link is broken or they took the page down.
Searching the Daily Mail site brings up the story but clicking on it comes a cropper.
