    One of the reasons I don't move back to the UK.
    Fiscal nomad it's legal.

            Sounds better than renting in the north east of England.

              It was.

              Guess how much IT work there is there?

              Not a lot.

              As Paul Daniels would say.

              Hence the need to build up immense wealth before fooking off properly this time.

                A 0% increase to £450 this year, and darn right too. Lizards in Westminster bachelor pads aren't made of money.

                  My council tax (band G) is almost exactly the same as I billed for five days at my last contract rate. I'm pretty much OK with five days work to pay for bins , schools, libraries, local roads, parks and what ever else they claim to do with the dosh.

                    5 days after tax?

                    WTF does corp tax, capital gains tax, income tax, NI, stamp duty, alcohol duty, fuel duty, road tax, airport tax and VAT pay for then?
