Wie geht's?
Relentless positivity is in high demand when faced with oodles of red tape and bureaucracy.
So...to change something at our bank recently we needed a letter to indicate where we lived. Forget passports and visas. They needed an invoice.
Not just any invoice though. Had to have both our names and our address. Sounds simple right?
Except we've only been here ten days and in the flat for seven, so we only had two likely contenders.
A Council tax letter but only with my name on it and even that was misspelled (bizarrely, everyone wants to add an e and change it to Purdey).
So that was no good.
Next up - a water bill. Unfortunately, there were three errors on that one - my middle initial was changed to an 'M', Jacky became a 'Mr.', and they got the flat number wrong.
Considering I filled out the request for water myself, and all they had to do was cut and paste it, that is an impressive set of bungles!
Love and peace - Wozza
