The Register rang the Brazilian rainforest for comment this morning, but were told that it was unavailable due to "delicate negotiations with TfL regarding the supply of 18 billion envelopes for its 2008-9 billing campaign". ®

But seriously, someone needs to be shot for that!
Makes you wonder how many they send out a day, for the office sending them not to notice 3000 all addressed to the same person!

Never mind, the £96m taken in penalty charges will cover it.
