Droid: Our requirements are that you select a contact office (see attached list) that is at least 30 miles from the address we have for you.

We suggest you proceed as a pedestrian or on horseback. Please time your journey to arrive at the selected office between 03H15 and 03H54.
On arrival please announce yourself with <secret random passphrase that matched what you wanted you to opt in to>.
Me: But I wanted to register a change of address from Poland to Manchester.
Droid: Then you should have started the process a little earlier. The rules require at most 14 days for change of address notification. I'd suggest you go back to Poland and start walking briskly.
Me: ????
Droid: I'm sure that answers you question sir, have a nice day, goodbye
