Bureaucrats: How To Annoy Them

Apparently, Sir Patrick Moore had a wicked sense of humour:

Some good laughs in that lot ... love to get a copy of his Book.
Very entertaining reading.

The book, now sadly out of print, was called Bureaucrats: How To Annoy Them.

One man who got into a war of letters with the Royal Mail itself persisted in sticking his stamp right in the middle of the envelope. This makes it difficult for the franking machines.
This petty but effective tactic riled every official in the postal hierarchy, right up to the district chief manager. He wrote to the rebel, warning him never to stick a stamp anywhere but the top right‑hand corner of the envelope.
By return came an envelope with the stamp dead centre, and a little rhyme enclosed: ‘Hey diddle diddle, the stamp’s in the middle.’ :rofl:


Just a ' tit bit' from the book and thanks for the link. :D

Flash ..!!

The nom de plume tickled me - but my kids tell me that I have a childish sense of humour :lol:
