Dear KMBC Have your say,

Seriously Alma, are you taking the mickey?

As I have said previously, I am under no obligation to provide my full postal address, whilst you are under obligation to provide the request information (which you haven't and have not give any reason) AND to carry out an internal review, which you haven't.

Please could you give the information requested instead of acting like an immature child.

Thank you.

Yours sincerely,

Paul of the Woods Family
