LazyDaisy May 2019 3:59pm, 31 May 2019 26,859 posts	0 LazyDaisy I have handwritten a letter this afternoon. I had to go and buy some writing paper and envelopes to be able to do so. This is because I tried twice to contact the DWP about my mother's change of address, bank details and situation. After 16 minutes of listening to the same few bars of Vivaldi's Four Seasons I finally got through to the call centre where the chap claimed not to be able to hear me and ended the call. I then tried again, but lost the will to live after a further 12 minutes on hold. There appears to be no way to pass on this information online, so snail mail was the only option. As we have no printer down here, handwriting a letter was my only choice. Not sure where the 'Service' bit of the Civil Service disappeared to.
