Apparently, our house straddles the Eastleigh/Winchester border -- and both local authorities want us! Or rather, they both want us to pay council tax. We thought we were in Winchester; after all, they collect our rubbish and it's their name on the road signs. But then Eastleigh contacted us -- with a bill. A cheaper bill than Winchester's. Hmm. Calls to the councils ensued and we let them mud-wrestle for the pleasure of receiving our cash. Eastleigh won. It turns out that our house was re-zoned back in 1992, getting a new Eastleigh postcode. However, the Royal Mail and the Land Registry still use the Winchester postcode. So that's what we're going to do: Winchester postcode, Eastleigh council tax bill. Best of both worlds.
And best of all, we got to sort it out in English. Joy!
