I remember while being shown properties in the area by an estate agent, being told that if I managed to get one thing done a day requiring paperwork, I would be very lucky! How true that was. Having spoken to the oil people and them agreeing that I should have had discount, I was sent an WhatsApp saying they needed a copy of both sides of my TIE. Theyd already had copy of my old paper one, copy of driving licence (Spanish) and residencia last year, all of which I signed last year. I took photo and sent it. Then, yesterday, another message with a form attached for me to sign and return.... Now anyone who knows me will remember that I am slightly challenged when it comes to anything technical. Decided to take phone to lady in news agent in Purchena and she could probably do it. Purchena was closed due to San Gines Fiesta. From there I drove to Olula and double parked and went to the petrol station who is owned by the oil people. Nah, couldnt do it there, go to the one in Macael. I was told where that was and by a miracle, I found it after only driving around for a short time. From there I was directed to their offices, also in Macael. Another 15 minutes of dead ends and factory forecourts I gave up.
Drove down to Clare in Total Entertainment, explained the problem, which she understood, sent the form from my phone to hers, printed it off, I signed it and she returned it to oil people. Done deed!
Nah, they now want to know how many litres I had delivered last week and what was I charged. I pointed out that they must have had the top copy of the invoice I signed.
I now await the next installment. If you are fed up with this long message, think how I feel... How right that Estate Agent was some 19 years ago...
