Yes at £150 a pop!

Recently sold a detached house, taking a semi in part exchange. Both houses freehold, on the same estate. (After the sale we found that the deeds were virtually identical) However, the other chaps Solicitor was insisting on all sorts of idemnity policies which my Solicitor claimed were...

Out of the frying pan... you must have been bad in a previous life!

Old Rules- Man A taxes car for 12 months. Sells it 6 months later. Man B buys it and enjoys 6 months without paying tax. New Rules- Man A claims back 5 months tax. Man B pays for 6months tax. Car is taxed twice in sale month

Under the new rules the Government gets an extra months Car Tax every time a car is sold. For example, you sell your car mid month, which means you cannot claim that months tax back (only full months can be reclaimed). Then the new owner has to tax the car from the 1st of the month, hey presto...

MP3's only use part of the digital audio instead of 100% in a CD. This makes them much smaller but of inferior quality. Thery are known as "lossy" compression formats unlike FLAC, which is lossless and can give you 100% of your audio CD

A lot of automated switchboards automatically withhold the number because all you would get was the switchboard number, not the number of the person dialling. (There could be 2000 extentions on one switchboard number) Even if you did get the number no one would answer as they are automatic, they...

Then there was the German bloke who went into a newsagents and said "Show me your papers....."

If you are saying that you do not believe in God, or that Christ was his son, why then do you believe everything written about him by people who do believe? You can only assert that he was a liar or a madman if you had evidence either way. He could have been a latter day human rights activist...

Got that in just before April 1st.....
