Bin Day Bureaucrats
The local council is like a mysterious secret society, except instead of world domination, they’re mostly concerned with where you park your car and what colour your front door is. They’ll approve a 12-story block of flats next to a Grade II listed cottage, but heaven help you if you want to convert your shed into a yoga studio—planning permission denied. Parking rules change more often than the weather, and the signs are written in a dialect only ancient druids can read. Councillors argue passionately over flower bed layouts while ignoring the sinkhole swallowing half the high street. It’s democracy at its finest: petty, confusing, and somehow always two hours behind schedule.
