So, Jo and I moved house.
Being good citizens, we pro-actively updated our addresses (well, Jo did most of them :iloveyou: ) including updating our enrolment details.
About a week later, we get a reply.
"We are unable to update your address because you have been living there for less than 1 month"
Um... But you need my new address to send me forms you stupid idiots.
About another week down the track... We get mail from the Registrar of Electors addressed to our OLD address. The only reason we got it is that Jo was smart enough to put a mail re-direct on our mail.
"Please let us know if your details have changed"
Ok, so we sent it back again detailing our address change. And the same reply (within a couple of days of us being at the address for 1 month) "We cannot update your enrolment details as you have not been living at your current address for more than one month"
I mean, it isn't like we moved far... We still have the same post code for crying out loud.
Anyway, the icing on the cake was a couple of letters we got at around about the same time we got the letters saying we couldn't update our address still. These were addressed to our NEW address.
The stupid thing of course is that they must have snooped into the re-direct and seen that we have re-directs for Arnie Mann and Evie Mann.
Many of you will have seen pictures of one or both, however if the stupidity in that is not immediately apparent, take a look a the reply we sent for Arnie (Evie's was the same)
