I disagree they are 'THE' tax experts thats what they get paid for. And no the OP shouldn't have know something was up he not a tax expert 'HE' DOESN'T get paid to do it.

'we' have a responsibility to ourselves to stay informed about the issues that directly impact our lives.

This idea that we can just plod through life and rely on the gov't to look after us and get it right all the time is crap and hopelessly naive, not mention an intrinsic part of the wider problem that we have with benefits etc.

Ooow I get it now .................... what do you do for a living?
Next you'll be telling us we have to check over the work that the plumber or the electrician has done BOLLOX, we employ experts to do work that we have insufficient knowledge of, unfortunately the IRS have the monopoly on tax system and its them who set/make the rules.

"just plod through life and rely on the gov't to look after us"
I dont expect the gov't to look after me/us I expect the gov't to guide us.
BTW I work for a living AND Ive never been on benefits before you ask.

So your a Engineer that is a surprise I had you down as IRS or in the Benefits line.

B77...Franc you !

Is it that obvious ?

Greenstiles, I'm only pulling your leg.

You find out a lot more about what makes people tick by challenging them and their preconceptions, or trolling as Lumos put it.

Either or, your choice. The spirit of retrobike ? ok then by your criteria the off topic forum should be removed because the majority of the topics are nothing to do with the minutiae of 'retro' bikes. Or did you mean the spirit of cameraderie that comes from riding cycles of yesteryear ? Don't see a lot of that either really, although I do see a lot of bickering about component choice, Kleins and how anything built after 98 is shit, don't often see posts about bikes actually being ridden though, funny that.

Oh and the spirit of responding to for sale or placing wanted ads then saying 'I'll have it or 'dibs'' then not responding to pm's....

Or the spirit of never posting or contributing but as soon as a karma item comes up.....

:facepalm: you should stick to putting holes in chavs

I'd find yourself a new psychologist!
Or simply do without...?
