Tower Hamlets: from Private Eye
Too good to miss!

"When officers at Tower Hamlets council wanted to contact Tory
councillor Tim Archer to alert him to an urgently-convened meeting they
had a number of options. They could have called him at home or on his
mobile. They could have sent him an e-mail. Or they could have used
the Council's internal post. Instead they wrote him a letter - c/o the
town hall - and posted it first class - from the town hall. Two days
later it arrived back where it had started - at the town hall. The
following day the council delivered it to his home, by courier, after
the meeting had taken place."
