Yep, it's astounding the attitudes they have.
I'm sure if there was a clerical error and I wasn't charged
for a months council tax they'd be straight on to me asking
for the money. Bleeding agrivating but not so surprising I'm
afraid.

Well, yes actually! As the money was taken illegally from motorists you should pat it back! What planet do these people live on???????

I saw that too and despite what we have seen over the last eleven years or so, I found his "brass neck" hard to believe. It seriously annoyed me!
