Don’t want to spoil a potentially serious thread, thread

Am I right then to think that effectively half of your properties rents were payed by the taxpayer ?

Correct! And before you go down that rabbit hole remember that I paid a hefty eye watering amount of income tax and property taxes back in to the system. No crafty accounting for me saving me money like the big companies.
I paid my dues and collected my gold 👍

Good to hear that you paid your dues. Shame not everyone thinks the same.

I wasn’t heading that way, was just wondering.

Don’t know which is the bigger problem, tax ‘avoidance’ or benefits cheats.

One friend of mine said it was ridiculous when he was on benefits, all the jobs they sent him for would have made him significantly worse off. Luckily he found something off his own back.

Maybe the incentives to work rather than claim benefits should be better.

Tax “Avoidance” is legal. Cheating the Benefits system isn’t.

If the Government wanted to close tax “loopholes” they could change the tax laws, but they don’t seem to want to.

Is that because they make so much use of them themselves?

Ax evasion is illegal, the accountants will tell you avoidance is your right 😳

It’s not where you source the Brie from, it’s how you handle and serve it that decides your poshness​

Quick lesson in Brie etiquette​

  • Never cut the tip or corners off of the Brie; this act of “pointing the Brie” is a huge faux pas and will never go over well.
  • Definitely eat the rind; many people consider it the tastier part of Brie.
  • Never cut a piece of Brie from a block in public detaching the soft cheese from the rind. The rind should always be attached when leaving the cheese plate.
  • If you are really not interested in eating the rind, then you may remove it on your own plate or into a napkin.
  • It is a general rule that you should always cut a block of cheese as to not misshapen it; that being said, it is advisable to cut Brie, as if cutting pieces of a cake, in slices.
  • Always slice from one end, never start in the middle.
  • You want to make sure that you cut the Brie such that everyone with you can enjoy a similarly sized portion.
  • It is traditional to eat Brie with bread, namely baguette; when doing this, you should rip a piece of baguette with your hand as opposed to cutting it with a knife.

I send Jeeves to Waitrose in the Range Rover to collect the Brie. It's handy as he passes Fortnum & Mason on the way, where he picks up the quail's eggs 🥚 and foie gras 🦆

I didn’t know you had F&M in the far north. Things must be improving up there 👍
