  1. Unfortunately the money can only go round so far before it's reduced to bugger all.
  2. You see Einstein, I see a white-haired grandfather. For the record, I don't agree with all these messy tax credits, just set the tax rates at the right levels and the economy will sort itself out.
  3. Then stop the subsidy, remove the benefits. The state is not giving money direct to the companies.
  4. Er, no. Higher wage bill => less profits => fewer jobs Unless all the extra disposable income is spent at that same employer, which isn't going to happen.
  5. You're right about Tapatalk. It has its limitations and I'm still persevering with the old HD version because I'm sick of the adverts.
  6. No profits = no company = no jobs
  7. The taxman won't allow a trip for business if any part of it is for pleasure or a holiday. I had a very big argument with them, which I lost, of course.
  8. You might be confused. Are you asking on the right forum?
  9. How can you benefit if you're dead?
  10. ... is the correct answer!
  11. Highly recommended. We went there a few years ago for our 40th anniversary but had to leave early to avoid a hurricane. We'll be back, we have unfinished business there. Lovely place, lovely people, only 6 hours away. Edit: bloody auto-correct
  12. Don't get your worried, you've made good choice. My wife always says that she felt like crying when we got there (it was all a bit too much) but she could have cried even more when we left. As an aside, we flew there from Auckland. There were a country or of New Zealand girls on the flight and one of them was celebrating her birthday in the departure lounge, champagne and all the trimmings. We flew over the Date Line and landed in Honolulu the day before so she then had a whole 24 hours of further celebrations to look forward to. Apparently they did this every year.
  13. Did they say which Sunday?
  14. Clue: count the capitals in the links.
  15. Did you click on the links? You were supposed to read them
  16. Back cover? What 'back cover' (not on my browser, anyway). I never judge a book by its cover, what does this edition have to say on the subject of capitalisation? http://www.plainenglish.co.uk http://www.english.ox.ac.uk
  17. That's a title, and it's the 2004 edition. Come on, keep up.
  18. I am not in reach of my copy of Fowler's 'Modern English Usage' (1967 edition) at the moment. Much of the discussion on various forms of writing style predate the Internet so finding a link is not as easy as some youngsters might think.
  19. Unless we're talking about Liverpool's impending decline, with or without a 'clyne'.
  20. This may come as a bit of a shock but... the internet is not the real world
  21. I am led to believe that if we match their offer then the net result to AM would be ... Hmm... Whichever happens AM would owe us some money. I think it would result in costing us slightly less but AM have the same net cost.
  22. But some are taught the difference between grammar and choices of style. Capitalisation is considered by many to be a question of style. Some will never learn and are doomed to follow slavish principles.
  23. They had to make a payment in order to cancel that deal so now we're all square, plus a modest sum of money
