BS re your attendance record. Don’t forget to knock off all those tax dodging years when you were abroad supposed to be working, that should knock the attendance record down a bit. As for me, 58 years attending Scunny games man and boy, plus I paid tax all the way through my working life plus I’m still paying it now on my pensions. Some of us class as proper patriotic Brits eh BS.
I had a bit of a laugh a couple of days ago Iron-awe, I was giving my study a well deserved clear out of unwanted papers and clutter that is generated over the years, I thought of you pal when I found and shredded piles of old documents, one document was a KBR tax letter dated 2003 when working for KBR an American Construction Company, I had been with them for five years and never paid tax before, although I had been non-resident of the UK for over 30 years, and always spent less than 90 permitted days in the UK, KBR had stopped me £29,400 Tax for the year, when I asked them what was going on, they informed me that they had a new Finance Manager and it was called Hypothetical Tax so the 400 London Office staff of KBR did not have any gripe, best thing was that this money was kept by KBR and nothing was paid to the IR, I resigned and started in West Papur Indonesia the following month, the bent new manager chased me for a yerar trying to get back my air fare from Egypt to UK, so I did pay tax that year pal.
If you pay tax on your pension, you obviously get far to much pension, so you were paying tax all those years, and also monthly pension contributions, whilst I was having a goodtime, I only get State Pension because I paid NI contributions. Take care and just accept that your taxpayments are being sent as part of our £15 billion world aid fund, it is therfore helping your people out really ha ha!
