In the 1990’s, the term was used as a political tool.
It was also interesting to see that a chap on a £50,000 salary would be paying £19,269 in total in taxes per year - the obvious tax […]

Mr T

Tip-toe through the minefields - there ain’t nowhere safe…The past few weeks have brought us the usual downpours of rain and half an hour of sunlight which, counting as summer in this country, we all cheered heartily.

Girls (and boys) night out Part 2
Â
(with the exception of Kath who hates the smell of curries).

A week in the life of a pregnant accountant!

What a week!!
Firstly, my custard goes a bit wrong. OK, I adored thick school custard, but having to use a knife and fork to eat it with is taking the whole thing a bit too far.
