Yup. They have said that they will abolish HIPS as well as IR35. Lovely those Tories.

Unfortunately, they can't abolish the energy certificates, they have been foisted upon us by the EU (though they can valid for longer).

Yes, I believe it. Not all parties are overtaxing-liars. There used to be a bit of honesty and competence in government prior to 1997. Hard to believe but true. The ERM was a blip, but all governments will make some mistakes. Unfortunately this lot make clangers virtually every day.

I have sneaking suspicion that our Bob is actually one of Xoggoth's creations.

If only he had kept blogging.

I need to order one. When I google it, the sheer volume of info that comes back is mind boggling. It appears that there are loads of fly by night companies that have jumped on the bandwagon, providing them at cheaper and cheaper prices.

I want to find someone reliable, but at the same time, I want to spend as little as possible on this as, let's face it, no one cares about them. It's just a formality.

Any experience or suggestions with this?

Look, either it is just a formality, or it is more than that. If it is just a formality, do you care? Get the cheapest price. If it is more, then you want to find someone reliable.

It can't be both a formality and not a formality.

Find an agent that gives you them for free (or cheap) without an unreasonable tie-in period.
