This money laundering regulations stuff is starting to seriously piss me off. Every year, another set of compliance cak. In the last eighteen months I had to pull metaphorical teeth to sort out signatories for a society bank account and now I’m having to go through another exercise with another society where I just know it is going to bounce around for ages because someone is registered with their author name rather than their legal name. Twice I have nearly got to the point of simply not bothering because I can’t be arsed with some gold plated piece of financial services arse covering that has absolutely zero scope to be anything even remotely resembling money laundering.
I wonder how many well meaning people throw in the towel every day, fed up with the increasingly arcane rules? I suspect the number is not trivial.
Still, you’ve got to laugh. I certainly did when I first heard about the title subject.
Today it was revealed that the Police didn’t approve back then. These days, the Police would have much more opportunity to cherry-pick bad law to nobble them. The transcripts don’t do them justice, they were indeed delightfully offensive and often very funny. (Don’t bother with the DVD though, I found it cringe-worthy as their relationship was heading to the rocks).
