not for the art critics to tell us so. Imagine life without parking
inspectors - intolerable. Perhaps we ought instigate a National Day of
the Regulator. Individuals could then express gratitude in their own
special way?
Oh, god no. Not in their own special way. The regulators would never
understand that.
Gratitude must be expressed on the proscribed form, which can be
obtained
from the the Post Office upon submission of a completed application
form,
filed seven days in advance in triplicate with a filing fee. Gifts
expressing appreciation in tangible form will not be accepted unless
provided with a copy of a tax invoice showing that the value of the
gift approximates the Valuer General's appraisal of market value, that
the gift has not been sourced from any company which is a client of
or supplier to the regulator, and that the correct amount of GST has
been paid.
There are procedures, after all.
