Council Tax - a bit off topic but...

Council tax re-valuers want to charge us more if we live in a nice area. That ought to mean discounts for those of us who live in rough areas. We have a huge council house in our street. The extended family is run by a grumpy old woman with a pack of fierce dogs. Her car isn't taxed or insured, and doesn't even have a number plate, but the police still do nothing. Her bad tempered old man is famous for upsetting foreigners with racist comments. A shopkeeper blames him for ordering the murder of his son's girlfriend, but nothing was proved. All their kids have broken marriages except the youngest, who everyone thought was gay. Two grandsons are meant to be in the Army but are always seen out in nightclubs. The family's odd antics are always in the papers. They are out of control. ...
Honestly - who'd live near Windsor Castle ?

Hi Stephen
Good one - took second resding to get it. One of those kids was up her last week and made the local paper - and because a lot of them went to school here we know what you mean.

Hi Stephen. Just what I needed on a Monday morning, made me laugh I got caught out I was beginning to feel really sorry for you,

but when I read it to my OH he got it straight away,

or so he says.
