Patrick Moore was Britain's most respected and best-loved astronomer. But under his nom de plume, R T Fishall, he was also the scourge of bureaucratic incompetence, exposing stupidity wherever he found it, especially amongst tax inspectors and traffice wardens. From humorous (and genuine) examples of how they can make a mountain of paperwork (in triplicate) out of a molehill to essential tips on how to counter their machinations and give them a taste of their own medicine, it also includes an explanation of the Fundamental Laws of Bureaucracy and the Twit Percentage. The Twitmarsh Files, combining both Bureaucrats: How to Annoy Them and The Twitmarsh File, is the perfect tonic for anyone who has ever had to contend with the more ridiculous aspects of officialdom.
