The cookie monsters' claim that, "We value your privacy" - they value invading it far more.

If you have that much saved up, Rikii, you should put it in an offshore account - Rees Mogg can advise. Hi tickle , we get only one thousand pounds free from tax, if your overall tax allowance is £1250 per annum you will have to pay tax on any more than that one thousand in your bank accounts our is 2,000 allowance as it is a joint account, until recently our bank A/C was only making just over I% in interest,this year we have been getting about 5% hence more interest more tax. Now every one who has savings or a dual pensions will receive a tax bill courtesy of HMRC.? ( Err I am not 100% au fait with this.) |

Wow, how we manage to get through life with so many irritants is amazing.  People who say, "My bad" and "sicth" instead of sixth. |

People who give you their seat on a bus or tube.
I mean, it's lovely - it just annoys me that I look like I need it...

The footwear I am now resigned to wearing.
If the shoe fits, it's ugly.

As a child I was a very fussy eater, which proved a problem when we had a family holiday in the fair city town of Scarborough. We were staying at a B&B so had to eat out in the evening and must have spent a good while looking at menus to see if there was anything I would eat. In the end, as I recall, we ate nearly every evening at Eve's Cafe, which served the most wonderful spam fritters. Just for old time's sake, about a year ago I bought some spam fritters from Iceland, to eat while Mrs Tickle was away visiting her cousin. They were, I'm afraid, a great disappointment. |

Now every one who has savings or a dual pensions will receive a tax bill courtesy of HMRC.? ( Err I am not 100% au fait with this.) Even at 5% you'll need £40k invested to get a return of £2k. If you have more than that you could avoid tax by making use of your ISA allowances. I wasn't aware of it, but have just discovered that in addition to the personal savings allowance there is something called the starting rate for savings. As far as I can understand it, if your other income is below £17,570 no tax is due on any interest that doesn't take your overall income above that figure, subject to a maximum of £5k - www.gov.uk/apply-tax-free-interest-on-savings#:~:text=You%20may%20also%20get%20up,rate%20for%20savings%20will%20be. Of course, if you really want to avoid paying tax on your interest, there are plenty of accounts around that still pay 1%. |
