[AtW]

I saw a programme on 1st channel where they were demonstrating how you can do a DIY job on your dacha and turn it into a weekend friends, family sport and drink relate retreat including a hard stand for your 4x4.

Not quite, hot food from a supermarket has not VAT, hot food from from a takeaway does have vat. The power of money over government.

I didn't realise that. No not fair at all.

No thanks!

My family had so called "dacha" or summer house with like some land given in 80s by generous Communist Party, the idea was that Soviet citizens would grow stuff there - potatoes, tomatoes etc. I totally hated going there on weekends to weed stuff etc

But remarkably easy to grow in large quantities.

Beetroot is a luxury in the UK - very hard to find (in large raw quantities)...

But remarkably easy to grow in large quantities. That and spuds can be done with very little effort.

Oh C'mon. He is in Birmingham - where is he going to find luxury food there. Well, not what is classed as luxury food in the UK. He is Russian after all and beetroot is a bit posh for them.

...They will be offended, it’s almost the national dish

If you ate in, then yes.

If not, then probably - depends if it's a luxury food or not.

Stick to buying from Coffee and Cream - there is no chance of any of their offerings being classed as a luxury.

If it's classed as hot food, then VATable.

[Tingles]

Is it classed as a biscuit or a cake?
