Put the items in your preferred order.

Renewing your car insurance
That moment you realise your 'loyal customer' renewal quote is £200 more than the new-customer price. Cue an hour on comparison sites.

Sorting your Self Assessment tax return
You swore you'd do it in October. It's now 11pm on 31st January and you can't find that one receipt from August.

Getting through to your GP surgery
Redial, engaged, redial, engaged, position 47 in the queue. By the time you're through, you've forgotten what was wrong with you.

Cancelling a subscription
They'll offer you three months free, a £50 credit, and possibly their firstborn — anything to stop you leaving.

Renewing your passport
£88.50 for the privilege of a photo that makes you look like you're on a wanted poster. Don't smile, don't blink, don't breathe.
Drag the photo to reorder
Should the UK ban private school tax breaks and use the money to fund state schools?
