The start of a saga
« on: September 15, 2008, 10:32:20 AM »
1. I need to get some information out of a Council
2. I call the "Helpline"
3. Yes, they say, e mail Tracey@etc
4. I say is that Tracy or Tracey?
5. Dunno
6. I try Tracy
7. Bounce back
8. I resend to Tracey
9. So far nothing
10. I wait for the next obstacle.
11. Why are our publically funded public servants so obtuse? It is her job to tell me this stuff!  cussing:
12. I am now consulting the terms of the Freedom of Information Act (just in case, like)
13. And wearing my lucky T shirt! evil:

I recently had a form that I had submitted returned because I had not filled in the box marked "Title".
I rang to explain to Gupta that I do not have a title and therefore had left that box blank.
"But you must have a title"
"No, I am not a peer of the realm, I have not been knighted and I am not a Doctor"
"Then you must be a Mr"
"No ~ Mr is an honourary title bestowed upon one as a mark of respect. I would not dream of calling myself Mr ~ That is for others to do."
"I am not understanding"
"No ~ and I don't suppose you ever will"

If there is one thing guaranteed to get my back up it is some arse calling himself Mister.

It is obvious to anyone that a man is not Mrs nor Miss and, if his voice has broken he is not Master therefore Mister it has to be.
