You couldn't make it up.

Christmas will be along shortly. As proof, these mini Stollen have appeared.
We felt the need to make a start on them as we've had a frustrating twenty four hours fighting the technology of two organisations with seperate but similar problems, both of which came down to good old fashioned finger trouble.
In my case, the day and month of my birth had been transposed and Redilady had had the month of her birth entered incorrectly. She was told that she would need to visit the the local branch with proof of identity and get it corrected. I suggested that now that we know the problem, it would be easier if she just ignored it and in future just entered the incorrect date. "Inadvisable", I was told.
We tried it, it works:-)
