Happy Birthday. Lots of love from Marc, Jordan and Duckens xxx

The best attacking force in the league against the best defence; do we know which is the more potent? Anything could happen re goals conceded today IMO.

Moving permanently to another city makes no sense at all, cannot conceive that SISU would imagine it does. Coventry is the 10th largest city in England (the 11th if you include Cardiff who play in the English league). It has no other large team. This, after all, was part of the reason that...

Tony and the EU sitting in a tree. K - I - S - S - I - N - G

Have to disagree... it is just him.

That cannot be Jodi Jones - he looked up and passed when in sight of goal.

We've already conceded. It's their turn. Give and take is the way forwards; not the UK giving and the EU not giving an inch.

A headed shot? That I'd like to see ;)

Presently listening to Dire Straits. I'm no fan of their commercial pop music but still like their first three albums. Same with Coldplay - still love the first album, but dislike everything since.

Following Merkel's statements last week, Tusk has now also come out with some more positive statements. Brexit deadlock talk 'exaggerated' - Tusk Hopefully this will start a period of a more constructive and positive attitude from the EU. There is no doubt in my mind that the UK must be...

We will have to disagree. All the evidence I have seen is that Corbyn, McDonnell etc. are extreme Left wingers. They have a long history of being on the extreme left of Labour; they are engaging/promoting ex-members of the British Communist party (Andrew Murray) and I have already shared...

More typical socialist behaviour. Let's not kid ourselves that everyone is equal under socialism. Non-party members are equal and universally poor. Senior party members are very wealthy. MP received £165,000 from trade union

OK Tony, I give up.

The point is Tone, that more or less, essential are VAT exempt. It's only items that we don't need to buy that attract VAT.

I don't have the figures to hand, however - let's use this as an approximation. Fuel spend per year = 100. At 5% that brings in 5 in VAT. All other goods and services = 1,000,000,000. At 20% that brings in 200,000,000. Offsetting the fuel VAT (which isn't really the point anyway - as heat...

How much money do you think we spend on fuel versus all other goods and services Tony? Offsetting the VAT from fuel might mean a current VAT rate of 19.9965%, practical? Further, that's not really the point is it? The UK, generally, tries to ensure that key essentials are not VATable. VAT is...

What on Earth has VAT on goods and services got to do with legislation over VAT on fuel?

Not true. VAT was raised from 15% to 17.5% in 2008 (not decades ago) after the crisis. It was then raised again to 20% in 2010 - for the same reasons.

That seems sensible. But we have to add in the EU assets of which we have a share. Same deal: subtract those the EU agrees and add the others into an independent review by a third party.
