And your mobile phone bill is going to be more when you go abroad: Chancellor slaps extra 20 per cent tax on using your mobile phone abroad | The Independent

Presumably this will mean:

(a) more people in the Daily Mail complaining that they didn't realise that downloading the latest dross has given them a humongous bill
(b) less chavvy selfies of girlies pouting at their phone whilst pissed in Benidorm

Unless you are with 3

Most of us have evolved from Blackpool, Clacton and Southend.

You're suggesting the equivalent of going to Los Angeles and staying in South Central.

Have you ever been asked to give after-dinner talks about how you maintain such a positive view on things?

I'd take that sort of criticism from most peeps, but coming from you - that's a bit bloody rich, wouldn't you say?
The message I got from today (and taken in line with what's happening in the PS) is that HMG do not want private contractors to exist, we must be on the payroll and be taxed at source, and should we persist with our ridiculous notion of not being on the payroll, they will do anything in their power to make our lives as miserable as possible.
I might be persuaded to do after-dinner talks, but it's strictly cash only, brown envelope optional.

You've never wanted to discuss it before, always happy to accept.

Really? You weren't so keen last time...

I can see a multiple Phoenix to ltd companies coming. Note this won't work if you have any assets in the ltd co, but works quite nicely in a sort of kinda a way, and legal too. I'd be cheeky enough to name them Phoenix1, Phoenix2 etc.

Why would you want to return from Germany given that it's such a utopia as you like to make out all the time
