    Cheap... you see this is the problem. I bought a cheap car less than a year ago and it's pissing oil and is really pile of junk. So cheap ain't always cheerful.
    You could buy a banger for like £1000 - but how long will it last?? Then you up the level a bit and buy, say, a £4000-5000 car... but who has 5K lying around, so you'd need a loan, at which point, the costs involved start to even out with leasing. Only with a lease car you get a brand new jamjar.

    And... you must be able to claim mileage surely with the lease car still? Or do you put the expense of the car ie. the montly lease amount through the company instead? Or better still, both?

    5k? That can be scraped together in a matter of weeks if you don't have it in your back pocket!

      I got the best lease deal direct from the dealer. And it was a hybrid so was reasonably tax efficient...

        Speak to your accountant about the tax treatment but of course it depends on whether you or YourCo are leasing the car.
        Hmm

        Couldn't make connection.

            It means they never implemented any error handling

            On Error Resume Next
            If Err.number=,
            etc
            Cooking doesn't get tougher than this.

              Has to be expected from a php developer

                It is me, hello.

                Thanks for recommendations.

                Never seen that SQL error before. Who broke my database? I don't know why is said there were too many connections, peak visitors today at 13.00 = 50. It handled 650 concurrent the other night

                I have replaced the error warning with a friendlier message.

                Yes, VIZ love me, they call me mental oriental. Thanks again for the plugs.
