WINDSURFING TAX!!!
What a liberty, when i was paying to park at portland boat yard on sunday morning (doesn't that bloke have a home to go to?) it was
brought to my attention that it is now a requirement to pay about £2.20 a day to use the water.
As i was disinclined to shell out the extra I was warned that the authoroties may be patroling both on the beach and on the water those
found without a ticket will be banned from the harbour for life!!
I just wonder how many other moneygrabbing bastard local authorities have thought up this wheeze?

You should ask for a tax break or grant for using a renewable source of energy - wind. See if you can get the DLTR or what ever it's
called at the moment to shell up some money

Company vans fell into a really cheap tax bracket, which is why so may Toyota Hi-Lux type things have appeared on the roads recently.
Don't worry, as long as your van is private it will cost the same as before.

If you are employed and have the use of a van get the employer to record it as shared use, it might get you off having to claim it as a
taxable benefit.
I am convinced Gurdon Brunw is gay, every march he does me up the council gritter -- OUCH.
