Calderdale Council

A few weeks ago I told you about the astonishing decision to take me to Court as a result of their own inadequacies. I paid my taxes in time but their systems are so woeful that they mislaid my cheque for three weeks. In the meantime, they justified their action to summons me because they couldn’t get my cheque to the bank in time so my account was in arrears.

 

That letter came out in the name of the chief finance officer so I replied and asked whether what he had written was Calderdale Council policy ... i opened his reply on my return home last night to find that ... he completely ignored my questions.

 

He is to hear from me further and so might the local newspaper if he’s not careful.

Milk and organge powder

I keep forgetting to ask so can anyone tell me why the duty free shops in the airports in the Middle East sell milk powder and concentrated orange drink powder ... by the tonne by the look of it.

 

Who buys and why do they need to take it to wherever they take it?

 

Just curious.
