    [Politics] Tory meltdown finally arrived [was: incoming]...

    Same happens with Petrol. You actually pay VAT not just on the petrol you put in the car, but on the fuel duty for that petrol. Double taxation at it's finest.

    [Politics] Tory meltdown finally arrived [was: incoming]...

    I think we don’t necessarily need to increase taxes, we need to make people and companies pay the tax that is right. Take our pm for example, he earns over £2m last year and paid an effective rate of tax of circa 23%! I just don’t understand how we allow this when earnings over about 125k...

    [Finance] PCP finance help - can't work it out

    I don't know about the OP's exact circumstnces but for those asking why not just wait until April etc, when we bought our car last we were offered a large discount if we took the PCP, even though we planned to pay it off after one month, we even told the sales guy we were doing this and he was...

    [Politics] UK state pension age will soon need to rise to 71, say experts

    I think that if those born after 1970 are having their pension ages pushed back again we also need to look at those already receiving the state pension and share the burden. If they are to push ahead with this the state pension should also become means tested for those born before 1970. I am...

    [Football] How to fix VAR ?

    I think overall VAR has been a disaster for the game. But also I think we need to look at the teams themselves and trying to constantly con the referee, some teams are worse than others, all teams do it including ours. How many times have we seen players go down like they've been shot then jump...

    [Travel] Cars and congestion

    London day travelcards to be phased out https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-66268315 Used these a lot, especially for away days in London. They don't make it easy do they. It just seems to be piling more costs onto an already ridiculously expensive rail network that is generally...

    [Brighton] Sussex Police

    I think the phrase the officer used in the car was unfortunate in that he said he'd have to deal with it where as what Clamp said, waiting for back up would have been more appropriate. I think there is quite a bit of lack of understanding what a PCSO does and their role. They do a lot of the...

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    Looks like his "pardon" was pretty short lived https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-66021601 I can imagine him thinking he should have just got on with it now. "The leader of the Wagner mercenary group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, remains under Russian investigation despite the Kremlin saying...

    Who the hell is having 4/5 days holiday a year at the moment!!!! Sometimes feel I'm living in a parralell universe! Maybe some really well off but they can afford the new parking charges anyway.

    [Music] Glastonbury Festival 2023 - the thread

    Massively biased but for me they absolutely smashed it, terrific set and best of the weekend imo. Only slight tinge of sadness was they didn’t do Thinking of a Place which is probably in my top five best songs ever made but at over ten minutes long I get it’s a huge chunk of their slot.

    [Misc] Companies you hate, and will avoid using/buying from if you possibly can

    TUI - couple of years ago we booked a last minute, and I mean last minute deal with them as our first holiday after Covid. We wanted a fairly short flight as we were still nervous about flying at the time. Less than 24 hours before we were due to come home we got told our flight was going to...

    Most looking forward to The War on Drugs Sunday evening, hoping for a full live stream or broadcast.

    [Travel] Cars and congestion

    They do now in many cities but it’s disguised as a congestion charge where if you earn enough or have enough money you can, if you don’t you can’t.
