So ok own up ? who said Mallorca is the Paradise island ? come on own up !!

Unbelievable !!

Today in the post i get a letter from the Council , apparently they are doing a 10 yearly re rateable value on the properties down the road or something .

I figure as translation only goes so far i will ask my friendly girl down the bank , who advises what they are asking me to perform is !

copy of NI number, copy of deeds, house plans top and bottom floors , plot plans , and a few other odds and sods , now here comes the crazy mad bit ..

This is in relation to them obviously increasing council taxes i guess ? pretty rare will they go down right ? so now comes the 15 euro question ?
Are they thick or taking the pee or are they telling me they don`t want me here anymore and just having a wind up ?

The final bit is they want High Quality Pictures of the front and back of the Villa ,side views and other pics all must be 100mm x 150mm Quality Pictures and all taken to them at the local Council offices .

I guess so as they can say ohh now that looks pretty lets charge him more !! as its safe to assume they will not reduce them for sure will they !!

Now lets follow this through !
Assuming i do not own a camera and then lets assume again i do not own a computer ? or a printer capable of taking such fine HQ pictures . what does one do ? Do they insist you employ a professional photographer ? Insist you buy a new quality camera and a quality computer and printer ? OR buy just a camera and then find a quality print studio to make these pictures which once submitted they could say " Not good enough " ??
add on that the time and energy to do all this crap of which they have most the info on file anyways !!!

So in a nutshell its a pee take and i for one have decided they can get stuffed and not be so lazy , putting it mildly !! as stronger terms will be used when i pop in the local council offices to have them explain in more detail .. and if its as i am informed what i believe then they will be told where to shove it in NO uncertain terms
