SWISS PUBLIC SERVANTS

LAST THURSDAY I WENT TO THE MUNICIPAL HALL HERE IN LENK TO GET MY BIRTH CERTIFICATE, THE CLERK THERE TOLD ME I HAD TO GO TO ZWEISIMMEN TO THE REGIONAL OFFICE THERE AND THE EMPLOYEE IN LENK GAVE ME THE ADDRESS, OPENING HOURS AND THE PHONE NUMBER. ON FRIDAY MORNING I THOUGHT O WELL I TRY AND PHONE THEM. A GENTLEMAN ANSWERED, TOOK DOWN ALL THE INFORMATION AND SAID IT MIGHT BE DONE TODAY OR ON MONDAY AND IN THE MAIL TO ME. HE DIDN'T ASK FOR A CREDIT CARD OR PAYMENT. ON SATURDAY MORNING I CHECKED THE MAIL BOX AS I HAVE BEEN TAKING THE MAIL UP TO MUM AND ANNY EVERY DAY AND KNEW FROM LAST YEAR THAT FIRST CLASS MAIL GETS DELIVERED ON SATURDAY. LOW AND BEHOLD THERE WAS MY BIRTHCERTIFICATE IN ALL FOUR SWISS LANGUAGES PLUS ENGLISH AND IT SAID IN THE COVERING LETTER THAT THE BILL WOULD BE SENT UNDER SEPARATE COVER. WHAT SERVICE.
