Thank you Ronk. Saves me scolding Hudswell again

Inheritance Tax As a common law spouse you will not have the benefit of spouse exemption – which allows married couples the right to leave all their estate to each other, irrespective of value, without paying any inheritance tax whatsoever. If your common law spouse has made a Will leaving everythin...

“This is because, whilst transfers between married couples and civil partners are exempt from IHT, there is no such exemption for unmarried individuals. This means that anything left to an unmarried partner over and above the 'nil rate band' (currently £325,000 for tax year 2013/14) would be subject...

If you are married, you’re spouse can inherit joint property etc plus cash, investments and insurance without tax consequences.

If unmarried, you have a rather low limit other than the place of residence.

I completely disagree. A civil partnership is needed until the financial and tax priveledged awarded to married or civil partnership couples are given to people who live together. If I die, my partner has large tax consequences. A marriage is a different thing. You assume that stress is all that sto...

When my wife and I got married we had a very small civil wedding followed by lunch in a local pub. We had both gone through big weddings in our first marriages and just wanted the paperwork. It is only a stress if you make it a stress. And there is nothing misinformed or ill-thought out about my re...

Well, let me enlighten the misinformed or ill-thought out responses. I was married and divorced over 20 years ago. Ive been with my much better half for over 20 years. We never married, due to personal issues with her family - i.e a marriage involves inviting close family members, some of whom cant ...

If the sum total of all the remainer delaying and obfuscating tactics had been that the Queen was today giving Royal Assent to a bill to CANCEL Brexit, you would suddenly be the biggest fan of the Monarchy, Jim. [Very like the remainer's nauseating love affair with that other unelected body, the Ho...

WHAT a a load of polical cosh. Are we supposed to believe that Israel will allow freedom of any sort on goods, being sent into Gaza?

Israel will never create any form of tree trade with Palestine. They dont want Gaza to exist and the sooner they can remove it....

While I accept Brexit is happening, what does the Queen have to do with national policies? If we rely on some hereditary, traditional, monarchy to allow us to decide our future, God help us and all who sail in us...

Ha, from the biggest antagonist left on here, one who has even ‘challenged’ me in the past....you’re a parody, old bean.

Hudswell. Calling the Irish PM a “mite” defeats all your arguments. When one resorts to insult, the reason has gone. As Lloyd says, after 2 years no deals are on they table. Nothing to do with the EU. Why would India for example, choose the uk over the EU. They made demands for free movement of Ind...

Jim, I am not a " Brexiteer" or a Remainer...I am someone who has accepted the will of the UK which has decided, in a referendum to leave the EU...which if those that would wish to overturn that desire..got behind the government and supported the inevitable ..then the EU would not be in a...

Sounds boring but anything but.

So,..when the EU technocrats actually decide to sit down and negotiate..realistically, rather than threaten, bully... And intimidate...not tactics that tend to work against the british then perhaps we can get somewhere...Jim, read the papers...everything...everything the UK government propose, sugg...

I d-my think anyone disputes that we will leave. The terms of that should be up for debate. It should not be leave at all costs. The comment by Boris is not unexpected. He is a baffoon. He cares nothing for the country or the people. His ilk care only for themselves and their ilk. Like Rees-Mogg. Pe...

Hudswell, you are extremely selective on what you comment on, on these threads,. So, Boris, for example, is ignored, so you can have as go aT Lloyd....

You avoid trying to counter argue, at all costs.

Aerospace giant Airbus is on the brink of abandoning British investment after losing patience with Theresa May’s stalled Brexit negotiations, according to today's splash in The Times. The company employs 14,000 people and supports a further 110,000 jobs in its supply chain in the UK. It also generat...

Having an Android for work and an IPhone overall, I find the iPhone much more straightforward and much easier to keep up to date. Few Android users run regular updates.

I have some proper teak chairs and table and oil every 2 years has kept that great, but it does need regular work....
