Badger Nov 2021 11:13pm, 18 Nov 2021 14,372 posts	Quote Pin Badger People who treat roundabouts as an opportunity to bully other road users by deliberately breaking the rules and assuming you'll stop. (Tonight's examples, somebody not bothering to give way to the right, which is as nothing to the gentleman who pulled past me into the right hand lane then promptly turned left. It's marked ahead/right; the left lane goes left then divides into two lanes, so he just charged into the right of those where I was heading. Fckwit. Didn't even signal. His car had fckwit written all over it so I was expecting it, fortunately)

um Nov 2021 1:37pm, 19 Nov 2021 5,440 posts	Quote Pin um On 4th May I submitted a request ticket to HMRC, regarding a US share dividend I had received, and withholding tax stopped by US Inland Revenue. I got an automated response advising 'response within 2 days'. Mainly asking if I owed UK tax on it. Then I forgot about it. Until ..... Today I got a mail reply in the post. *I don't owe any tax or need to declare it, so maybe I should post this on 'making you smile' thread instead!
