Here is the CRO News: we're working to rule

The Companies Registration Office puts out a monthly 'ezine' outlining various issues, upgrades and resolutions.

Increasingly, it seems to be more about the things it can't do than the things it can. In particular, it has begun to note all of the disruptions that will occur because of the ongoing unrest in the civil service.

Guess they're showing us private sector muppets how crucial they are to the economy by preventing us setting up new companies (which will ultimately pay their salaries).

It says nowhere in my contract that I have to answer the phones.

Let's do an experiment. I'll stop answering them, and we can count the days till I'm on the dole.

Maybe we just need to get enough pissed-off self employed people (say around 10,000) to stop paying their taxes until the government and public meet a number of conditions. If they can hold us to ransom maybe it's time we did the same.

*public sector I meant - not 'public'

Not to be picky but the fasttrack restoration process is invoked rarely and has nothing to do with registering a new company - it is to restore a company to the register that was previously struck off so it will inconvenience people who repeatedly miss filing deadlines...Not that that makes the 'work to rule' ok
