IHT and marriage


Alan Dale

Recommended Posts

I think weddings are crap and previously thought marriage was unnecessary.


Whilst the capital gains tax incentive already had me tempted, yesterday's announcement that I can transfer my nil band onto my missus after I go has made it almost impossible to resist.


If I don't get married now then I suppose I'm just being contrary.


Isn't it bad though that the government can interfere in my life like this. Everything was fine until they started trying to bribe me into getting married.


Anyone else going to reconsider there marital status on the back of this announcement?

Snorky faced such a challenge - and forked out ?41 for a registry office quickie rather than several thousand quid in lawyers fees to arange a safety net of arrangemnts / trusts etc to try and circumvent to status of being unmarreed with dependants

Depends on the person and their priorities I guess. I'm getting wed shortly (cheapo version for the record), and we're doing it... well I don't really know why, we just wanted to.


Call me old fashioned, but I do like the idea of being married when we have kids... Not that I think it makes any difference to the kid, but there you go.

Yes. We are / will have to. It's boll*cks. It will be down the Snorky route (aisle?) I expect.


Why can't civil partnerships be available to hereto couples like they are in some other countries?

peckham registry office - no mess/ little fuss- in and out in 30 mins once youve done the form filling


The onto thre kentish drovers for a slap up feed of curry and a pint for ?5


I romatically tried to get into the Southwark Nuclear bunker which is situated on vesta road to celebrate the occasion, but the council had once again welded the hatch shut.

She's happy as she is but if I try to get all the forms filled in I think it might stir up her inner child who wants her day as a princess.


Reading cinderella to my eldest and also her being a bridesmaid already - it's really obvious where the brainwashing sets in.


Just got to convince Ms Notyetdale that she has to break her programming and save the world.

Where?s your sense of fun Alan? Rent a morning suit, get some ribbons on the old escort, head down the registry office and then rent a pub out for a knees-up with balloons and scotch eggs. Shouldn?t cost you more than a few hundred quid.


Then head to Butlin?s for a family honeymoon.

Fortunately for me, Mrs Keef doesn't like the whole grand wedding sit down meal type thing (I find all that a bit hard to take), and we agreed that we just wanted to have a great party and for everyone to have fun... I even get to play guitar with the band for a while! Result!!!

Getting married is a pretty extreme way to get an audience for your guitar playing.


A friend of mine did that at his 21st and later at his wedding. In fact every time he has a captive audience he starts up on his bloody guitar.


Your big day though Keef. Take the piss..

    • Yet another reason why all supermarkets should be thrown down the pit. Along with all their lies and horrid carparks. And their disgraceful treatment and terrible conditioning of their underpaid slaves. And their horrible antisocial robots who no one can even talk to, which also make their slaves even cheaper. Get rid.Ā  Ā X
    • What are our rights here? An item on the shelf has a price tag and next to it a discounted price if you have a club loyalty card or whatever, the expiry date for the offer is a few days in the future. Clearly you expect to be charged the discounted price because you have a loyalty card. You get to the staffed till, scan your card but the discount for the item in question has not been honoured and you've been charged full price. You tell the staff member but they go ignorant and insist the price is the full price without the discount. You go to point out the label on the shelf but they just ignore it. It was traditional to be charged the price shown on the shelf regardless and then up to the shop to correct it there and then, they don't do that now they just call you a liar. I made a complaint online and was told it was not a staff issue, staff are employed as robots nowadays and self-appointed security guards especially in the express stores. I was told next time to go detective and take photos of all the evidence so feedback can be sent to management. That's more work that what the discount is, what a joke.
    • To me, it seems the survey asks questions about ease of understanding of the SPD rather than consulting the public on opinions on the content... What's the best way of objecting to this change in guidelines? Anyone who has been to any of the consultation events and can provide an update on this?
