I have tried unsuccessfully to do an online tax return for 2019. {No problem previous years]. The problem described by previous posters on this thread, (which I didn't actually read at the time), appears to me to be unresolved. Has anyone any suggestions please?
Thanks, Jon.

Did you use Dettol Dominic- it has so many uses!

Brent crude, the international benchmark, also slumped, but that contract was nowhere near as weak because more storage is available worldwide. https://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-global-oil/oil-price-crashes-into-negative-territory-for-the-first-time-in-history From Reuters: -amid-pandemic-idUKKBN221...

Thank you June. A lovely poem. I've noticed how the migrating birds have had a chance this year against the hunters/trappers. Lots of birdsong in the early morning. Each day I see the lighthouse and environs clear and sharp at five miles- and no brown line of NO2 on the horizon . No contrails scarri...

@Yogi, Your topic “ New Building above Tala…” is an enquiry about this project. My original title is a slight misnomer, since the early stages of construction indicated a larger structure than is now in place, being actually the boundary wall footings. I did enquire at the nearby Monastery of Agios ...

Yogi, please see my thread, which I am putting up now, "Another huge church- but what a location" [From Feb. 2017].

Specially for any sensitive souls who are too-readily triggered by every wafting snowflake, I have the perfect antidote: an eloquent young lady who is worth watching, bearing in mind she is a prime candidate for a “no-platforming” intervention by the thought police. Wonder she even slipped through t...

"In the spirit of promoting Brexit harmony, I entreat any despairing Remoaners to hand all of their unwanted Brexit 50 pence pieces over to me. In return, I will give them 20 pence back and tell them what they are allowed to spend it on. That way they can happily go on pretending that they are ...

Jim- I do not regard you or any other Remain voter as a “traitor”, nor have I ever said so. The only time I recall using the word was in the passage below specifically relating to certain MPs- and I meant it. I’d have used some appropriate Anglo-Saxon expletives in addition, but not on this forum! “...

So 17.4 million voters, including me, are “twerps” and suckers, Lloyd?
What a silly comment.

Well worth a read, Dominic!

My wife and I have recently gone from vegetarian to vegan, with the addition of a daily B12 supplement. I read up on this, and learned the reason why this is so necessary today. If anyone is interested, apparently, B12 is short for cyanocobalamine, which indicates that it contains the element cobalt...

Keep trying you lot- I think you’re wasting your time. If you think you’re going to pull off some Ben Stokes “victory from the jaws of defeat”, and somehow reverse the will of the majority, you’re going to be disappointed!
I’ve just bought more shares in Kleenex.

Were we to stay in, Jim, you would presumably be quite content that we had to borrow even more in order to pay for more EU munificence?
