It's never fun dealing with government offices. However, we did have great fun calling Inland Revenue about a year after leaving the UK.
I had provided them with my new Canadian address before I left and about a year later they sent me a letter advising that no income had been reported for me for 12 months and could I confirm what I had been doing in that time period to ensure that my taxes were being withheld correctly. Really . They had sent the letter to a Canadian address - what did they think I was doing. Of course H still had a sense of humour then and when he phoned it was afternoon there, morning here. He corrected the young lady that answered "Good afternoon, Inland Revenue" and said it confused her until he finally explained he was in a different time zone and we are 5 hours behind GMT.
