All good things must come to an end. So does the tale of the cheque.

Finally the saga of the council cheque is at an end and I can concentrate on just paying bills rather than fighting people to give back my own money.

I am still sending a complaint to the councils "head office" (?) since there are a couple of unanswered questions (many of them rhetorical - funny comments only please, to cheer me up!)

• This whole delay stemmed from the fact that an operator at Southwark coucil believes the letter B is the Letter E (the problem was my address on the cheque). Even after a bit of UN phonetics (seemingly "Bravo" is spelt "Eravo"). Will he be ridiculed and made to feel small?
• Why does it take three weeks to reissue a cheque when the first cheque took one week and it had get approval from the beginning of the process.
• I have my suspicions. Is the delay caused by the fact I made an operator upset by phoning back every time the cheque didn't arrive and bollocking him? Every time I phoned up for three weeks, I was told it had been sent the day before. Are London councils that petty?
• Why should I have to take the costs of overdraft interest and the bounced cheque? Will they reimburse my £30 charges?
• Why did it take me acting like a jerk to get them to do anything at all?

Hopefully, this cheque will clear and we can leave this subject behind for good. Otherwise, I reserve the right to moan on the blog in the near future. Thanks for listening.
