It does have a private plate yes - nothing fancy just a letter + number plus three letters which are only a few hundred quid.

Coolio - thought I’d check. It’s a cool plate for a GG but obviously muchos monies

My view on that...

Adjusting derailleurs always reminds me of Fr Ted trying to tap out the small dent in the car he borrowed.

Any why the Administration in "National Aeronautics and Space Administration" is so apt...

They've always been team efforts co-ordinated by NASA For example, for the Saturn V, Boeing build the first stage, North American Aviation build the Second Stage and Douglas build the 3rd For the Shuttle, Alliant Techsystems built the Solid Rocket Boosters, Lockheed Martin built the Tanks and Rockwe...

They never did

Well me for a start

but it is striking how much of policy (apart from that which punishes the poor) is all about me and mine. Perhaps because there is a large proportion of the population (and therefore electorate) who are continually asked to do more and more “for the greater good” yet benefit to a much smaller degre...

If there used to be Tax on Private School fees but a previous government changed the law to remove them, then it is indeed a Tax Break

Is that the case??

A tax break is a change in law that results in the opportunity to pay less in taxes

It's not a tax break

I have never gone back to a women I have left...

And on one or two occasions, the women left me, then wanted me back but I didn't accept.

I am not a liar, I am an anomaly !!!

Exactly - it's pretty anecdotal but average house prices were 10% to 15% higher in the catchment of the school that WAS the best in the region. Our School has only overtaken them 18 months ago so we haven't seen a similar rise but it's coming. It has just about enough capacity (I don't think they've...

The NHS is capable of doing wonderful things for a huge number of people. But as Duncs says, don't ever let that blind you to the fact that it's also capable of significant ineptitude and harm to lots of people as well. My family has seen both sides of that - my wife is not only still here because ...

Is this the right place for an NHS is fucking brilliant post. Missus felt something on May 19th. Got a doctors appointment the next day (given her age and circumstance) confirmed it was worth checking. Had full Hospital treatment (Various scans, specialist assessments and ultimately a biopsy) on Wed...

Re. public school VAT. I think it's worth considering quantum here before hand wringing too hard over the marginals who will be priced out of the market The average cost of private education in the UK is just over £20k a year. VAT on that raises £4k per year per child The average cost of state educ...

You know my motto in life...


But seriously, if the ideas change, I'll get behind them but I'm too long in the tooth to believe any of it.

Still voting Labour this time out though...

Then yes, definately worth it.

Stops buyers going "Needs a new Kitchen - take £20k off the asking price" etc.

We moved into the catchment of the best school in this area with GCSE and A Level results consistently highest in the region. They offer a "Private School Level Education in a state school". It's really good - if a little stuffy and old fashioned (Top Button closed, Blazer worn at all time...
