reading some rants on a certain national papers blog pages i got thinking about all the great and good things that have flown over the atlantic to us. according to one blogger us old europeans owe it all to them, so from the hoodie and beyond, what are your fave imports from the states?.. all tongue in cheek of course.

according to wikipedia the online thingy monks were the first to bring the hooded top to the world. however, 'the hoodie' is traced back to the states, but apparently does not carry the same negative image.


i would like to add to the list paris hilton, bless her and all that are driven by her.


just to remind all, please, this is meant to be fun and is not an attack on the states at all in the least/slightest blah blah ...

      Should Rachel Reeves consider a tax on overseas remittances?

      Should Rachel Reeves consider a tax on overseas remittances?

      By vladi · Posted

      The chancellor is exploring new opportunities (  and rightly so) for raising tax revenue in an endeavour to tackle the debt burden facing the nation. One think tank has floated the possibility of taxing  remittances  sent overseas by UK residents using a mix of formal channels  such as banks Western Union, MoneyGram, Wise and WorldRemit.  The proliferation of Western Union agencies has become notable in recent years. It is estimated that  around £28.5 billion was remitted to such countries as India, Pakistan, Nigeria and  countries in the Caribbean. Imposing such a tax could reduce capital outflows and result in greater investment here in the UK. The USA is introducing a tax at the rate of 1% effective 1/1/2026. Canada, Oman and Saudi Arabia are expected to follow suit.

      I'm trying to be civil, see things from different perspectives and avoid arguments. The grey economy is cash in hand, so no tax to be paid, Chancellor loses out, we all win. Zero hrs contracts must be tough not knowing where or when the next work is coming from.  My position might not be great, but with a bit of sensible weekly shopping, stocking up on best buys etc. one survives and life ain't that bad.
