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.

Good glad your liking it over there.

But if Jimmy Carr and Gary Barlow cave in then obviously all other celebs will do the same or the public will turn on them like they did Carr.

Thats why we should avoid starbucks amazon etc etc, theyl soon get fed up of reduced revenues and theres always someone ready to come in and take there place. Always as been.

Right Im watching THE CHASE.

What I would be interested in as a Tax man is cross border of capital and its declaration.

Probably, one reason some want out of the EU.

The tax evasion figure is tiny. The rest is legal. All you are going to get is the evasion figure.

Starbucks, Amazon etc are just doing what every multinational company has been doing for more than half a century. Companies like ICI do it to bring profits home to the UK. Every car maker has always done it. Engines made in one country, gearboxes somewhere else and differential pricing across borders puts profit where you want it.

I think, since Goldfinger likes paying his tax and I don't, that there should be a law brought in, that says he should pay my taxes.

But first, we should have 'a wealth share out' the day before we do the tax paying, so that we both have exactly the same amount of money and then pay exactly the same amounts of tax so as to make it all fair and above board.

Anyone see anything unfair about that?

And if you do, please don't forget, that I thought of doing 'a sharing job' with Goldfinger first.

LOL ! Good idea Exec, he's always saying he has "deep pockets".

Look out the Russians are coming! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-31049952

I think Alexis Tsipras might have a bigger problems than he imagined.....

Exec Line your post 56073 .........no problems as long as you can match my £60 to £74 million pounds worth of assets im all for it.

My first job tomorrow (in the snow 7.30am)is meeting up with a West Yorkshire Water Board official and a ground surveyor from Kirklees council and my companys own surveyor.

We have to go over the sewage and water drains plans at the base of my new high rise flats site. You will need some wellys and heavy health and safety clothing orange transparent. Hope you dont mind heights as we have to go into the structural base of the site which means climbing down (and then back up) at least a 30 metre industrial ladder.

Be prepared for a long day finish about 4.20pm and bring a packed lunch, flask and a disposable urinator.

What do I do then............. go snorkeling looking for crocs in the Thames?.

You're more likely to find crocs in your prospective nuclear bunker than you are to find a disposable urinator at the bottom of a 100ft hole in the ground...how did you dig it as a matter of interest?

plus conveyor belt.

GF

I'm an old client of a guy called Tom Gould. Do you know him?

The Dunham's don't look very well innocent!

The Dunhams were provided with corporate credit cards after moving from the UK to Maryland then North Carolina.

Between 2002-09, they charged personal expenses to the cards and claimed the money back from Pace, falsely describing the expenditures as business-related.

Among the £1m (£660,000) in losses incurred were mortgage payments on time shares in Barbados, luxury bedding for their home and a dog sofa.

Nicked from elsewhere, is there any truth in this?

The train crash waiting to happen in new-build property

From Dominic Frisby, in London


Dear premier member, (Millionairs Section)

Dominic Frisby and I read a statistic in the FT yesterday that absolutely blew my mind.

There are now 54,000 homes planned or under construction “in the priciest areas of the capital”.

Most will cost “close to or above the £1m mark” and most are two-bed flats.

Here’s the mind-blowing bit: in the same areas last year, just 3,900 homes were sold for more than £1m.

That would put potential supply at almost 14 times annual demand.

Welcome to the train crash about to happen that is high-end, new-build property in London…

I doubt the detail, especially as most high end property is sold off plan before they build it.

ohhhh goody that will bring in a lot of council tax for Milly and his boys.
