    Expat scheme tax in Denmark is 30% flat rate for first year or second too I think. I found it very easy and not too expensive to live there if u go Aldi not Irma and accom is way cheaper than Dublin. But it’s boring...

    State of the Market

    Well, 28th feb 2001 sort of. Our on-site logging system that logged who was on site at any one time, and on the 1st Mar it reported no one on site at all. This was a nuclear power station! Imagine if the Daily Wail got hold of the wrong end of the stick with that one. NUCLEAR PLANT RUNNING...

    Blimey. You mean Llanelli? I know of a few decent place in Swansea, notably The Hurstdene, as featured on Cops With Cameras for a drugs bust (didn't find any, I'd already flushed down the loo) You can't really contract in backwaters without a car, it's absurd.
