And it gets more bleeding complicated too.
So I'm finally cancelling the VAT registration of my Company.
Who needs VAT when you're a tea-leaf?

Quote: Dolly Dagger @ December 10 2009, 8:19 PM GMTI'm trying to remember and find images of a reading comprehension scheme we used to have at primary school in the 1970s.
I think it was referred to as SRT or SRA and it consisted of colour-coded cards that you took away, read and then answered questions on - or something like that. You had to work your way through the colours, which included 'tan', 'aqua', 'rose', etc. The swottiest kid in the class finished them first.
Anyone else remember these?
Yes! SRA! I remember those! And the swottiest finishing first too. 
I always remember that (in the 80s, maaaaan) my school had a series of maths workbooks that you started in infants and carried on up to your last year of primary school. They were, of course, Scottish Maths. Or something like that.

You have no money in your pocket. Mars bars cost 20p each or £1.20 deep fried. How many people do you need to mug to get three deep-fried Mars bars, a deep-fried pizza and have enough left over for a quick hit of low-grade street smack?
I thought all Scottish people always had either 80 or 90 shillings in their pocket.

I've had 70 and 80 shilling down my troosers.
I've had Matt Stott down mine. There's plenty of room!
Don't know if it got a mention on here but sad to see Teletext bite the dust this week after seventeen years. I know it's staggering on, but only as a holiday website or something. The news and info service has gone. So RIP Teletext.

Bye Teletext. 
I'm very sad about the demise of Teletext. No more Planet Sound.

No more film pages. No more weird singles adverts. No more showbiz gossip. No more Bamboozle.

Cheers - that certainly looks like it!
