Like the other 24,999,999 people who have their account details lost by HMRC, we received a letter of apology this week. I am still not sure whether to be worried about this, or not, although I probably should be I suppose.
Whatever – that’s still a huge postage bill for HMRC (paid by us taxpayers). Think of the logistics of ordering a cool 25 million envelopes and 50,000 reams of paper, never mind the cost of the post to go on top. It a is pretty mind-boggling exercise, particularly when you consider that all the letters were personalised – no general circular this.
Interestingly these were questions I was pondering just the other day! AND, now the mrs has received a letter of apology aswell!!
They do so love to send us two copies of everything and then duplicate it again just in case [rolling my eyes ostentatiously] …
