Inland Revenue, HRMC or whatever they're called this week

Not often you get anything back from the taxman, so naturally I was delighted to find that I'd been offered a refund because I'd filed my returns on-line.

Imagine my disappointment when I phoned and asked for the money to be transferred to my bank account, only to be told it would have to be done via a cheque!

Hardly practising what they preach are they?
