KrackersMaracas

I'd second Cafe Monico, Mick - I popped in for an excellent brunch a month or so ago and was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food and the setting.

What is that saying about what happens when you ask a certain type of question?

It is absolutely and completely NOT permissible to show a VAT exclusive price in a retail environment - be that in a restaurant or in a shop - for end consumers. No tax will be added to the price when you pay. This is a legal requirement. Your bill may separate out a VAT charge (and show at the bottom of your receipt how much of your meal/purchase was comprised of a VAT charge) but it may not display one price in the shop and add on an additional amount at the till. ETA - my reference, The Price Marking Order 2004, section 5.

We have it with our green bin- we routinely find half eaten food in there that passers by have chucked, and the bin men simply lift out the bags, leaving the stinky bits in the bottom. Strangely not a problem with recycling, which we don't bag.

Luckily it's warmer than it was a few weeks ago - it's breaking up the road but I did worry that in freezing temperatures we could have ended up with a nasty patch of ice. The water was running too quickly in the most part but you wouldn't want to take any chances on a roundabout.

Catherine - that guy is great! His announcements always make me smile.

I found the map interesting! I loved the place names particularly, thanks DF for sharing. Edhistory - are you suggesting it's incorrect, do you have another map you have come across which shows the local area from a similar time?

I'm with Medusa on this one - I'm seeing a lot of finger pointing and speculation. How do we know for a fact the wrong steps were taken? Is it possible that that, given the time of the incident, the nanny could have returned home, called the parents to inform them immediately, the parents then leaving work to discuss the matter further making the ultimate decision to call the police? Entirely so, but it doesn't make nearly as good a story...

They were being sold somewhere on archdale road to support Peckham food bank (not sure what prices were) - if I was inclined to spend lots of money on a wreath I'd go there. But to add - if you really like something and can afford it I don't see the problem with splurging every so often....

A nice welcome and a good price but I didn't feel the wax I got here was thorough by any means. I'll think twice before returning.

Done!

Organic Village - we love your shop and wish you every success. Our house is 50% veggie and this won't put us off - for some vegetarian is not a moral choice, and we will continue to shop with you. Don't pay any attention to the militants.

Oh yes - the lordship gets my vote! Nice food and very relaxed, good for a big group as well. I visited Yama Momo a few weeks ago and was singularly unimpressed with the food, the atmosphere and the price of the drinks- more than a whiff of emperors new clothes (or, perhaps, an off day- I left feeling no inclination to ever go back).

Yes that is right. If you wish to be a resident of a certain country and spend a significant proportion of your time there, why shouldn't you be taxed as a local would be? You'll find that different countries have different amounts of time you can spend locally to be counted as "resident" and that many individuals (Including jumpin' jack flash) closely monitor all time spent in the UK (and other countries) to make sure they never exceed a certain threshold. If you timed it well you could determine the local residency test in Spain and ensure you leave in a tax year where you will not have the necessary days residence in Spain to class as "local", thereby paying a full 20% on all earnings in e.g. 2016/17 tax year in the U.K. and then inform HMRC that you are severing all ties and start the 17/18 tax year in Spain as a local resident paying the full local rate of income tax.

Any chance there could have another handle at one time - it looks a little like a quaich (although they are supposed to have 2 handles, not one)

Over two years!!! Who knows when he might be back?!?!

Ehrmagerd I can't WAIT for this!

Boom! Scots law 101 -they're a promissory note!

Let's not be ridiculous....

Just in this morning and the changes to the gym look positive - upgraded equipment, more machines & free weights and new water fountains. New entry system to scan your card too! Keep up the good work EA!
