How are we today.

Oh, and Fiona, are you still having the problems about the tv license?

@ Kipi. I had a wierd day yesterday, but all is good today

@ DJV. I think that will just go on for a long time,perhaps slowly gathering pace. I binned the letter and on past form something else will happen in about 3 months. :rolleyes:

@ Rav.What would you do that for?

Well, the other day, I was reminded of something we have in Australia.

The Ombudsman. Do you have one of those?

Yes, I think we do. Don't really know what it is for, though

That will probably keep up. I don't think much else will happen...

[QUOTE=Fiona]@ Rav.What would you do that for?[/QUOTE]

*shrugs* To prove a point. That I can. :p ;)

Wierd in what way?

@Rav
No, you can't. You are forbidden to do that :p

Well, their job is to be the people's person. Basically, you can write to them, and have them look into a government policy or something like that. While they can't investigate directly, or make decisions, they can influence things, and can get stuff done.

It might be worth looking into.

@ Kipi. Oh, two cousins ( not from the same nuclear family) arrived to visit me with no warning at all. I haven't seen either of them since I was about 6. I didn't even know who they were at first. It was very odd

@ DJV. That's interesting. I will check that. Thanks

Awww. You know how to spoil things for me... :( :p

@Fiona, there's also the Citizen's Advice Bureau.

I can imagine that...

"Hi! We are your cousins which you haven't seen in many years. We just decided to make a quick visit. Hopefully that's okay to you..." :rolleyes: :laugh:

@Rav
Of course I do, that's the whole point... :p :laugh::devil:

@ Rav. Yeah, they are OK for sorting out some kinds of problem. But they are forbidden by legislation to challenge policy issues, because they are a charity. If it gets so they are going to do something to me I will probably see what they can do. But otherwise this Ombudsman sounds like a way forward

@ Kipi. Yes. Just like that. Strange. One of them lives in Australia, usually
