I wanted a receipt for the payment of my 2007 school taxes, so I called the tax office. They said they could send it in the post. I asked if they could fax it to me. They said yes, but it would cost $5 and I would have to call into the office to pay the $5 Seriously

So I asked if they could send it in the post, they said they would for free. A week later I still did not get it, so I went to their office to get a copy. The women said its 50c for a copy I really had to stop myself being sarcastic.

To copy and post - free

To fax - $5 that has to be paid in person :wah:

To collect - 50c

:wah: I laughed all the way back to my car - got some odd looks.

dont you know your in a recession Pheasy, they need all the money they can get lol:wah::wah:

p.s. good news about your interest rate going down too

The Federal Reserve took dramatic action this morning, cutting interest rates .75 percentage points. The unplanned cut came after two days of massive losses in stock markets around the world but was not enough to prevent Wall Street from opening today to a dismal start.

But by mid-day, stocks appeared to be rebounding with markets in Europe actually up and U.S. markets recovering from the horrible opening.

Story

When Will You Get Your Rebate Check?This morning's emergency action by the Fed was the biggest single downward move in the key Fed Funds interest rate -- what banks pay for overnight loans -- since a 1-percentage point cut on Aug. 16, 1982.

The key Fed Funds interest rate now stands at 3.5 percent.


Lets hope it has a knock on effect to us:-6

You would of thought, that the $3,500 we paid last year, could have covered the 50c :-5

Now your being daft:wah::wah::wah:

I had to pay 50c to park too - I only used 10c worth. I'm going to go back tomorrow and ask for a 40c refund .... I would have to pay to park again though

I guess the nice man at the door with the gun, gave me quick grope I guess that was a $1 well spent

Here in Pennsylvania, we vote for local judges (like that's real bright), so when I went in to vote I was told I couldn't because I was registered independent, and was even scolded by a person for not belonging to one of the two major parties.






Blimey, that really is strange!

Same in New England, I'm an independent, & can't vote in the local elections either! :wah: Only can vote in the Presidential elections! (Which I do)

I dont understand the way it works in the Land of the Free.

How do you register Independant ?

In the UK you can belong to a political party, but that doesn't bar you from voting in any sort of election.....in your locality, or national
