Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Or is it an High tea???????

The ones who have paid will likely appeal if the case goes against HMRC and claim interest for the intervening period as is their right. It looks like HMRC are wrong in this case and hopefully will get a bloody nose.

lol gf :-)

Actually, it would be a high tea, not an high tea!

Where is the grammar police when we need him.

Come back Kayak!

Stop talking sh-te Hays.

It will be at least 2020 before this is sorted.

Do you really think the government of the day will accept a defeat.

Dream on man.

In your case Hays does it matter, your high ALL DAY.

Snorter Osbourne comes to mind.

sticky - you know a bit more than the rest of us about the workings of HMRC ..... will those who have paid up be reimbursed if the case goes against HMRC, or will they have had to sign away all rights?

no argument about the legal obligation to pay taxes - render unto Caesar etc etc - but in this particular case, it is (suddenly?) not clear at all who has God on their side

well hays, it's assuredly an historical novel, so why would an high tea be a grammatical inexactitude, for both have aspirated aitches?

They will get paid back with the official inflation rate for the year at the end of Sept in each year of indebtedness.

Hes still at it, going very strong. got to admire his stamina..........

Max,

Tea!

Possibly, when the morning shifts from pits or heavy industries, got home and also, the food was eaten with tea.

It was a cooked meal at the end of the working day.

Followed, by a light supper.


======

High tea from distant memory was a cooked light meal tea of some form.

Could be wrong, but it was part of my childhood.

in that case, no point in not paying up now assuming it doesn't cripple through other problems

Ever used Wikipedia?

Did you know it is a non-profit charitable organisation that exists only through charitable donations?

If you want to help and give them a few quid, here's a link:

I've just done a small donation using PayPal. The whole thing took me less than 30 seconds.

youch! would never use paypal

No Cyners if you dont pay up then then you are subject to a higher peanalty.

Go back a few points on the first page and read APN.

that bit i realised and hence my last comment and also earlier re risk/reward

Same here Cyners..... PayPal......... blimey its like a Maze.

All you want to do is transfer money to an agent who isnt big enough to pay for a credit card.

What a farce it is trying to set up an account.

Sorry Exec but my dealings with this lot have been to put it bluntly......TITS.

You only use 'an' where the 'h' is not normally pronounced, such as honouourable or honest. The 'h' in high is pronounced, that is unless you are a cockney, drop your hs and say 'igh tea'.

Cyners True, thats why your best PAYING UP.

Do you really think the top government department is going to take a loss in the courts.

NO CHANCE......... even though you may be right.

Look we can debate this all night but I say Barlow and co are cheats, and dont forget the more they dodge the more we have ALL to pay.
