    And where did the tax man get the money?

    Could the tax & national insurance my husband & I have both paid for the last 50 years have contributed?
    Not to mention my son's own 20 odd years contributions.

    Yes. And you and me and everyone else could pay a good deal less tax on the money we EARN if the Government clamped down on people sneaking out of paying it on their UNEARNED money. Fairer, and better for the economy as more people would work harder.
    Hurrah, now I have more thankings than postings, cheers everyone!
