    Mailman: It is probably true that 93+% estates have no money to pay out anyways.

    I see Gordo is claiming that 94% of estates do not pay IHT. I wonder though how many of that 94% are only in the group because of creative accounting and the use of tax avoidance schemes?

    Seems gordo is looking at the wrong group of tax dodgers if you ask me! Here he has a large group (about 94% at last counts) that he could tax the hell out of to cover his other "tax" loses!

    Brit Nomads

    So you guys haven't left yet then ?

    Everywhere I go there seems to be more and more Brits escaping the cold , overtaxed and problematic British isles , like the Chineese , everywhere you go.

    There is a distinct danger that you guys will become the worlds Gypsy Nomads but dont tell the Chineese , they dont like loosing anything.

    Also on the front of this BB its suggesting that foreigners are coming to the UK to show you guys how to do things (ref: Migrant workers 'shame lazy Brits'
    ) , so your double fecked , because you cant then go abroad if they are better than you.

    By the way do you guys still drink tea with milk ? , Yeuuch! , Love Chelsea FC tho , Oh I forgot most of them arnt Brits , Oops sorry.

    Yep, having another 0.25% put on the overall cost of my Cayenne just might make that Micra appealing...

    Come on now. To encourage use of less polluting cars he's created graduated VED and you can save £100 per year by buying a Nissan Micra in place of a Porsche Cayenne. Tempting.

    Yeah I see what you mean. Loads of tossy poxy fiddly bits and pieces that achieve stuff all but when he stands up at conference he can boast that he's encouraging use of less polluting vehicles etc. All mouth and no trousers.

    Brownstuff is the most appallingly awful chancellor ever. He made one really excellent move, to cede control of interest rates to the BOE, and that halted the boom and bust cycles we saw in previous administrations and that's all the public ever see. His impact on business competitiveness and investment and his destruction of incentives in the long run will be far worse.

    And they do. I had a chap drive all the way from the top of Jutland, down to Calais, over t'channel, all the way up to a wind farm top of Scotland, back again, and we were far cheaper than any quote they got from an English company. He also picked up another coupla loads on the way back. Result!

    I must congratulate Gordon Brownstuff on making one of my business ventures quite an outstanding success.
