So true, it isn't even funny

To renew my shotgun certificate I had to get my doctor to sign the application/photograph.
He speaks English barely, Is Asian and has been living and working in the UK for eight years.
They would not except the signature of my long time business associate,.........met me three times.

Go figure

I wonder if your doctor knows the difference between accept and except?

By the way, although the original post makes good and perfectly valid points about how "joined up" our pathetic bureaucracy isn't, complaining will only result in:

Much greater government spending on daft IT projects that will fail
Attempts to join systems won't be to make things any easier for us - they will be so that civil servants can ask us more intrusive questions based on their incorrect interpretation of all the data they have.
Loads more pointless jobs will be created so that we can be grilled by cretinous shiny-trousered civil servants for no good reason.
The government (AKA civil service) will blame us.
To an extent all this has already started with ID cards.

So more chances of jobs for IT contractors then?
