Things that can make you very angry indeed.

Here

I am not, absolutely not, a 'customer' of the HMRC. They do not sell me anything I want. I am a 'taxpayer'. Which of course, they aren't.

Similarly there are signs on the back of a local free shuttle bus 'Sponsored by XYZ County Council and ABC Borough Council'. No it bloody well isn't. This service is sponsored (or more accurately, subsidised) by the tax payer/rate payer.

Bastards. Death's too good for them.

Unfortunately, I cannot seem to read that file off your hard-drive: file:///C:/Users/stevef/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/Temporary%20Internet%20Files/Content.Outlook/VQ1I5HGF/email.mht

And the absolute path indicates it may not be around for very long anyway...

Indeed, who else can you deal with concerning your taxes? If you cannot take your custom elsewhere, you are not a customer.

Well, technically, since they are paid out of taxes from the private sector, are they not our employee, in much the same way as MPs are?
