British government did.

And I'd like to add that the Danish tax office treats me really rather well.

Which is nice.

Doesn't even put me in a queue or give me the option to leave a message. I've tried a couple of times now with same result. Marvellous.

The sun is out and it is Friday afternoon.

It's probably Fred's leaving do and they're all still in the pub.
