Re: A very special plea from Caritas

Hello Again Lloyd

I have been successful with my donation this time and it has gone and the bank have confirmed this in a text so hopefully it is now where it should be. Sorry for the trouble. Have also sent you a second PM to confirm this.

Best wishes

Re: New tax laws re: government sourced pensions.

Austin7 Your point re paying twice on pension income which is a public service pension is not strictly accurate although it would appear so. The UK will tax any public service pension in accordance with the scales used by that Government minus any personal allowance entitlement. A resident of Cyprus...

Re: Anyone see the Panorama programme last night?

Lloyd and tyelaw47 You may recall that Nick Robinson was away from the BBC news not so long ago suffering from cancer of the throat and could hardly speak hence the leave of absence.
