Leakeyvale Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 What annoyed me.... infuriated more like.... giving the bloody Inland Revenue just over £34,000 in corporation taxes and PAYE contributions > > This country stinks.... you work hard... for very little... anything you do get you get taxed almost 40% for.. then blow me if you fill your car up you pay 80% tax on the fuel.... road fund tax is slanted to make you avoid owning a nice motor now.... you want to buy yourself some 'luxury goods' such as something as simple as a telly and you pay 20% all over again...er.. hello... I've been taxed on that bloody money once already > > I wonder just how much of our own money we actually end up with when the Government have finished shafting us every whichway they can > oops... sorry... rant over for now never mind the luxury goods what about vehicle fuel which has duty as well as 20% VAT. Not only does it cost us more to drive ourselves but it means that the cost of EVERYTHING that needs transporting has to go up too and that includes food and other basic necessities. and yes, Robert is right, we are also paying for those who do not want to work and who milk the system (successfully). Oh, yes, I have just organised my biennial payment to HMRC too! The reminder arrived in the pre-Christmas post! Off soapbox and wishing all us "grumpies" a Happy New Year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 The fact that we pay taxes to keep the lay abouts going bugs me too especially when my aunt who is younger than me (long story!) with two young kids and partner reckons that she can't survive on the £1700 a month benefits that she gets > Thats her rent paid, council tax paid and various childcare benefits, takes that pee slightly really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav836 Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 No offence taken as that comment of hers annoyed my family as well as thats more than I earn a month as well along with most members of our family. That doesn't include her partners earnings either as a bus driver or from selling cars so we really can't see why she's complaining Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understood that if the partner works more than 16 hours per week benefit is seriously reduced at the very least! How can she get housing benefit etc if her partner is a bus driver/car salesman? I think that someone is telling porkies (and getting away with it) at the benefit office and THAT REALLY ANNOYS ME. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPN Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 On Country File yesterday they made a continuity booboo. They had two tractors drawing away from the combine, a John Q 6**0, and a Newfie TM, both with Ken Wooton trailers. The booboo came when the John Q was pulling away from the combine to run back with a load. The interior cam was on the John Q which the narrator was driving, but the heli shot they kept cutting to was of the TM. So what did they do? They "painted" the TM green after the first shot on the headland. At least they spotted their mistake. Would have been worse if they hadn't copped it.

Ghost Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Yeah I saw that as well SPN, what really annoyed me was another person driving into my car again, not so much as an appologie, apparently I shouldn't have parked where they couldn't have seen me, hello it's a ton and a quarter of subaru with it's headlights on, I duely pointed out this persons errors in a firm but aggressive manner, I think they might take more care now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that an offence in itself though? \ this was in Tesco's carpark I was waiting for them to come out of their space so I could carry on my way, there was plenty of room in front but I could go back to avoid the dozy c@~? as there was someone behind me > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 just tripped over one of the cats dropping my tea over the floor, my own fault sadly, was slightly mesmerised by the hottie local synchronised swimmer being interviewed on the TV in her best UK swimming team very tight swim suit and nothing more :P just going to re cook a few bits again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
