Why not just do a DNA check?
For one parking permit I needed
1)take a completed application form from J, the owner of the car
2)to complete part of the application form myself
3) to take a copy of his driving licence
4) to take a copy of the vehicle registration document
5) to take J's bankstatement
6) to contact the Council tax department to let them know that J was now living here
7) spend 2 hours in the council, and one hour collecting and copying above documents
Of the council employers, 2 only resembled human beings, the rest, were "gone". One looked suspiciously like something from the Space Captains Bar in Star Wars, and she definitely wasn't on the side of the Jedi
This is bureaucracy gone wild, and a scandalous waste of time and money. Once upon a time, you went in, showed your ID and got a parking permit. Nowadays you need an A'level in Form Filling and 21st Century Councilese. The politicians/bureaucrats have gone mad.
There will be a revolution this is not how English people live.
It is like Elizabeth I's time, when there were spies everywhere. Plus la change, plus la meme chose.
