My philosophy is that life should be simple.


However what we have created is something very complicated, bizarre, ludicrous and incomprehensible.

These are three small things that have annoyed me over the last few days.
1. Dealing with British Gas customer services. We moved house in June and they have still to set up our accounts despite numerous requests from us. Have just spent 30 mins on the phone to them and nearly lost the will to live. WHY is it all so bl**dy difficult?

2. 12.5% service charge automatically added to the bill in a restaurant even if the service is rubbish. WHAT is that all about? WHY do we accept this practice of underhanded ways to try and rip us off?

3. Council planning officers. The planning dept say they will only respond once to an enquiry through their pre-planning application process even if their one reply doesn't answer your original question! Can I remind these jokers that WE elect the councillors that appoint them to use OUR money paid through OUR taxes to provide services for US.

Aaahh… that's better. Maybe because it is Monday.

Do you have any?
