This is a question Corporate Idiocy

Comedian Al Murray recounts a run-in with industrial-scale stupidity: "Car insurance company rang, without having sent me a renewal letter, asking for money. Made them answer security questions." In the same vein, tell us your stories about pointless paperwork and corporate quarter-wits

A Local Butcher
Who also has a slaughterhouse was contacted many years ago by MAFF via letter, they had to fill in a form saying how many cattle /pigs/ sheep etc they slaughtered per year as they were concerned about the amount of blood that was entering the drains. The reply came back with words to the effect that for one thing it would be X amount of blood from the total amount of cattle they killed per annum as, according to MAFF's estimation, each animal slaughtered would yield around FORTY gallons of blood! Well I did say they knew 'nowt' about cattle didn't I?
