I'm sure there were many exceptions but my personal experience was
that public sector staff were always too busy to handle matters and
I would have to wait weeks, whereas a commercial company would have
asked staff to crack on through any backlog. If you phoned local
authority staff they would be out of the office at the stroke of 4pm
or tiem their end of day was.

Why would you phone them when you knew it was the end of their day?

If Sainsbury close at 2200, do you expect to start shopping at 2205?
