Standards
Dear HMRC,
Thank you so much for including an envelope for me to reply to you with. I understand that I have to affix a stamp and that it’s not prepaid. That’s fine. However I thought you might like to know that in the country you server (in fact, across the entire continent of Europe) the standard size of paper is A4.
A4 measures 297mm by 210mm. Traditionally this is folded in three thus reducing it to around 100x210mm (allowing for the fold). So WHICH IDIOT decided to send out envelopes measuring 205mm wide.
Cheers,
Adrian
PS: the envelopes I use are 219x110mm thus allowing for number of sheets to be included. Your envelopes measure a mere 205x104mm, hence being unable to fit a single sheet of paper. This being tax related there is a strong likelihood that many supporting documents will be required.
