We have a winner! The correct answer is (b)
Four Apple Mac Computers were not charged to the council credit card. It was six!
So anon, post up your address to win a white t-shirt with the Hornet emblem, and on the back its enscribed "Buzz off! I'm with the Hornet". Dont worry, your address will not be published!
Dear Madam Hornet
ReplyDeleteIt would seem that mingling with the worthies of the Royal Borough has led to you absorbing some of their more unfortunate habits!
You have indicated that there were 17 entrants to your competition but there are only five responses published in the comments to the original post!
Furthermore, you give the name of the winner as "anon" when it is clear that it was I, Exhibition Rod, that came up with the correct answer (albeit for the wrong reason).
I trust that you will report yourself to the Standards Committee forthwith!
Regards
Exhibition Rod
There were in fact more entries than that bit I only posted a few as the others were simple entries stating just a letter.
ReplyDeleteDon't poke a stick at the Hornet you brave fellow, you'll only end up getting stung. ;o().

are you guys aware that there is only 3, Yes 3 single council tenants who have managed to the unbelievable task of getting a rebate on their Water Rates under the 'Assessed Household Charge' scheme that was introduced in mid 1995!
ReplyDeleteHows that for a Serious Indictment against the Technical Services dept of the TMO!
Apparently the last tech services incumbent forgot to roll on this Assessed Household Charge for the last year in my case..which took that same dept 3x Years to negotiate with the equally Inept slothful Thames Water Authority.
Hows that for Beaurocratic unprofessionalism
i wonder if the other two people are suffering under the same regime of ineptness, or is there more single council tenants who've managed to persue this rebate successfully?
i'd love to know and hear from them?
Tally Ho!
