It got so much beyond annoying that more than half the messages I
received from via the Council system came like that that I stopped
fiddling about trying to de-encode them and they all went straight
into the spam bin. The same with people phoning me from the Town
Hall with the source phone number blocked. If you can't even be bothered
to do me the courtesy of telling me who you are before I answer the
phone, I'm not going to.
