Wouldn't you just know it. Relocated to such a pub friendly 'village' 12 years ago and been to local
pubs maybe 5 times.....I believe that I probably 'go to the pub' less times in a year than the
'average person' does in a week. Don't make me a sad person though ;-) Dave.

Belong to two groups only.
uk.rec.aviation uk.rec.cycling
Having seen some pretty impressive and lengthy list of new groups, I do feel a little inadequate
with just these two. However both are terrific groups well informed and very stimulating to read.
I was born in Shrewsbury, Shropshire (aka Salop). Moved to London with my parents in the sixties.
Now live in Willesden.

It wasn't "wrong". I was asking a question. ;-)
The last small company's accounts I was working on was in January. They had a tax calculation built
into their accounting spreadsheet which all appeared to be working correctly. To double check it I
went to the IR site and it came back with the same answer. Nowhere did I see reference to the tax
rule referred to.
Honest Guv!
Besides that's one of the down sides of the job. As much as one knows, and as much more that one
knows in comparisons to one's neighbour, no-ONE knows it ALL. Laws, regulations, rules and GAAP
changes all the time.
