    A few weeks back I applied for single occupancy discount for the council tax.

    They said they would close the old account & issue a new bill, which I got a few days ago with 25% off:blue thumb:

    Didn't really look at the closing statement on the old account, just saw it had been reduced to zero at the bottom.

    Then, this morning, a cheque for £384 arrived in the way of a refund:dbgrtmb:

    Nice one.

                  Dear Zigs
                  I am a poor retired submariner
                  I am finding it very difficult to afford to heat my unheated GreenHouse

                  If you could just send me enough to purchase some bubble wrap for my
                  poor freezing children plants
                  I know you are a keen gardener and will feel for my plants, It is not for me
                  you understand Some of the plants have babies :cry3:and without this may die
                  even if you could just send me the air to fill the bubbles would be most kind

                  Yours Jack Mc FREEBIES McFreezing

                    Had the last of James's chillies for lunch, that made I sweat:phew:

                    Tis good, will certainly help finishing the house up:dbgrtmb:

                        Don't spend it all at once Zig.
                        They'll find a reason to seek recompence in the next financial year.
