@Rachi__01 @grok It’s the meter. When the electricity goes off you put coins in and it comes on again.

@mkobach Locker space duh

@TheRoyalButler Aside from it being a horribly cold room there are hideous marks on the wall that look like stains, damp or some other damage both sides fire place. The sofa looks especially exhausted. Looks like a dreary boring third rate country hotel.

@afneil @British_Airways If you keep saying you’re taking your business away and then going back they know you’re a sucker anyway.

@JamesMelville They already pay stamp duty as a transaction tax yawn

[Stephen Connolly @StephenC_]

@JamesMelville A significant amount of that money is declared and tax is paid. The assumption that offshore = evasion is a bit naive.

@adriangphillips He probably wore it because it’s July and hot.

@theresa_may @AtlanticPARTN Merkel is already consigned to the bin of history. You aren’t even a footnote.

@c4e19506e2ce4e1 @ghost_wales Is that true? You can just take a taxi out of Ireland into Northern Ireland. I’ve then taken a ferry with a driving license into England via Birkenhead.

@Noirchick1 Splendid

@tomidispenser @IneluctableQuak I read that novel every year and it still makes me laugh out loud. I hardly ever hear it mentioned by anyone.

@defencewithac Regardless of the law or highway code, if you’re on a bike you have to be stupid to pass a left turning car like that. Common sense tells you to pass it on the right if there’s no oncoming traffic. Safety before trusting any rules. It’s often very hard for drivers to see you.

@WallStreetMav If you fly first, does the same happen re business class?

[Stephen Connolly @StephenC_]

@readswithravi Of course

@TheSnoozeDoctor That’s starting to get too high. Unless he/she is extremely good and more of a housemaid, sitting out clothes and going to dry cleaners, etc, changing beds and sorting sheets, I think you could get better. 15-17.

@Kulambq Frankenstein is in top 10

@Thesecretinves2 And possibly re-entry tax breaks to encourage wealthy go-getters to come back.

@GuvsCryptoTips @TheJerzWay Guess probably fees about £267k or whatever the tax bill was…..

[Stephen Connolly @StephenC_]

@proptechpioneer @TheJerzWay I did not understand this either. If he is UAE resident and not a frequent holiday maker I don’t see why you would not use a UAE company with zero local VAT as all clients outside UAE. Trust, etc., all seems bureaucratic. Can be simple.

@AndyBurnhamGM @JamesMelville The man who brought in the £2 bus fare cap has got yo be the man with the vision to rebuild Britain.
