another new one i got given yesterday and this is typical of the way we have gone.
yesterday the rates man came round to see our factory , we have built new offices as an add on but taken them out of the factory, and the offices are smaller. so in theory i said to the council rates man we should pay less.
yep your totally correct darren

yessssssssssssssss i thought 1-0 to daz , come on mr council man lets have a rebate

any way he gets his electronic laser tape out and has a measure up. he then comes back and says yes you get a rebate but have you ever paid rates on your overhead gantry cranes.
errrr no i reply , well they are rateable and your compressor also

FFs how the hell can an overhead crane be rateable????
anyway our rates are 12,000 per year to which they dont even collect the bins.

so basically my company have to pay the council 12,000 per annum and then £70 a week to a private contractor to take our waste away.

i just dont get the whole set up any more i really dont??

cmon guys lets not have a row about how the west was won , keep it simple
