Is it possible...

That the tax office in Eindhoven employs competent people?

I tried to call them so they could call me back (see previous post), but my Dutch wasn't quite good enough to understand the endless recorded message so I had no idea which number to press. So Nico called them...oh dependency...when he was on his lunch break at about 1pm and they called me at 3.10pm! Yes, the same day!

Although the lady was a bit thrown when I answered the phone with a hello (not done here) she was very friendly and helpful and made an appointment for me to get my So-Fi number on the 5th October.

And I thought the tax office was only competent when you owed them money.

And a friend of mine thought I was becoming cynical in my old age.
