Der Flohzirkus

Der FlohzirkusGott in himmel!

Oh dear it seems there has been a bit of a cock up with some CD's sent out to employers by HMRC. The Register reports that the February edition of HMRC's "Employer Bulletin" should have contained a CD of software designed to help small firms deal with their tax obligations.

Instead, owing to a foul at the outsourced CD distributor, several hundred CD's (out of a mailshot of 1.5 million) were sent out containing 16 CD audio files of German fairy tales read in German.

The titles ranged from Zwei Ordentliche Kinder (Two Tidy Children), Der Flohzirkus (The Flea Circus) and Gespenster (Ghosts).

Tax does have to be taxing.

  2. I'm betting that the "several hundred" employers affected complained that the content of the CDs made more sense than usual.
