Edited to say its paid for by my employer and is for the employees benefit - they don't like people to refuse it, fearing probably that if you are ill they want you back at work pdq.

P11d. Mine is 3k per year - for 2 adults and 3 children. Unfortunately we have had cuase to make use of it a fair few times in recent years. I'm surprised consultants are subscribing.

What Judy said.

Simply not paying the correct amount of tax of any sort is illegal, including car tax. Tax avoidance is legal tax planning within the law which is legal. Tax evasion is not paying, which is illegal. Not paying car tax is evasion I guess. Tax avoiders are unpopular, tax evaders are criminals. I'm bored now. I better stop.

I was thinking just that Brenada - and when it gets cold post 10pm, we have to swop and the smokers have to go outside again.

I don't think we have learned the lessons of Pompeii. Time seems to have stood still for some people since then. And dogs too.

Excellent - I might try that tonight. Is that the selling point Jah - It makes you feel better, then after a few years, you might die a bit of a slow death.

No but that particular policy is aimed at london and the financial sector.

That's frankly silly. Weakening the financial sector will ruin London's biggest source of employment.

If there was a "value added" measure I would agree he increased his reputation most, but not sufficietly to get near the standing of the other two. I doubt he would be capable of leading either of the other parties. Its easy to stand to one side and say the other people are fighting and pretend to rise above it. The other two were fighting to become Prime Minister, Clegg was probably not.

Not sure that is what the newsnight pundits are saying quids - saying Clegg is all things to all people - They have also suggested that Cameron underperformed. Apparently Cable was supposed to have won the Chancellor's Debate but again, I don't agree. I think its just that people have not heard sufficiently from them before and have low expectations. Hence they perform better than expected, but I'm not sure Lib Dem won either of these in real terms. Lots being made of the China point by Cameron in relation to keeping the nuclear deterrant - did he mean Korea?

I'm not influenced by what they look like and I'm surprised that Brown is doing best and Cameron worst IMO. This is a bit of a reverse of Prime Mimisters question time which Cameron usually does well on but then he asks the questions then, tonight is a level playing field Cameron loses credibility for me on the use of the word "waste" time and time again - what he is referring to is public sector salaries and real peoples jobs. Brown is the only one not to make weak personal remarks about his family using the NHS etc and I admire that he has not tried to make capital from his personal life - he has stayed professional and has not used the family card. I thought Cameron would wipe the floor with him to be honest, but I'm pleased he has done well. I was unsure who to vote for and am leaning towards Labour. Clegg is reasonable but trying too hard to be the good guy among two bad guys. But also did better than I expected. Cameron was the only one whom I expected more from. And as for radio 4 PGC - i think they looked like politicians so no winners in the appearance front.

Best policy is to keep your skirts long and don't hover over cameras.

Nothing so far - will probably follow Kieron Fallon closely though.

Yes - still very sad to think back to that day.
