Britain's hard working families....

[SueEllen]

The reason for this is that the UK taxes individuals, whereas most countries still tax families as a unit: so a family where not all the adults work is effectively a lower-earning, lower-taxed tax unit for the other countries, but in the UK is seen as a higher-earning higher-taxed worker plus a non-taxed non-worker. The UK used to do it as a family uint too, until a Conservative government changed the rules.

It was Margaret.

One of the issues was domestic violence against women plus it makes the tax system similar for those minions in HMRC to work with.

It's not the first time that Labour have been blamed for the negative results of a Tory policy, and I don't suppose it'll be the last.

It's only fair......

[QUOTE=SueEllen;1293479]Yes - Why did you move here?

QUOTE]

Wanted to explore europe. No seriously that was the plan. Then I got married and she blew all the tavel money.

But, it has been time to move back for two years now. Not sure why I haven't pulled switch yet. But its more and more likely each day.

Though, the wife stays inside if it gets below 5 so what she'll do from November to April I do not know.

I also used to live here..<iframe title="YouTube video player" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/lTEhteAyLfU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
