Yet another reason why Japan is full of better people than the West.
So a couple of weeks ago I went to my faculty office and asked for a certificate proving my full-time student status to provide the council with, in order to get a discount on my council tax (because council tax is, you know, cripplingly expensive - what with me paying for fucking pointless flower boxes to be dug into the middle of Whiteladies Road because that’s apparently an appropriate use of my hard-earned cash). They provided me with one, which read “certificate” (I checked), which I promptly sent to the council.
Today, the council wrote back:
“The letter provided by the University is insufficient for me to be able to grant you full time student status. … I require you to send me a copy of your student certificate for Council Tax purposes. If you do not have a certificate one can be obtained from your faculty office.”

I don’t call myself British, but on this occasion I’ll credit the English with doing a good job on our currency :) Do Scottish notes have Darwin on them?
I wish.
