Ooooh - just realised it's football tomorrow a 'friendly' match with some team North of the border And the season starts next Sat :j

"some team" ???
You do realise that they regard themselves as one of the two 'real' football teams in Scotland??? They (and their fans) regard the rest as well below them.

This is hilarious! It's 40 years today since the Beatles did the album cover for Abbey Road. I watched for literally 2 ins and there were loads of people 'recreating' the cover :rotfl:

I watched it for a couple of minutes just now and there was a flasher! He got to the middle of the crossing, faced the webcam and opened his coat! :rotfl:

On income support/job seekers you are allowed to earn £15 a week without having to declare it so it'll be fine if that is all it is.. and as it is such a small amount going into the childrens accounts how would anyone else know? How many grandparents hold an account for the grandchildren and deposit small sums as and when..

MOJ2.. Stop worrying.. it is absolutely fine! If the children were 'working' for the money they don't have to pay tax on it BUT.. you would not be able to claim benefits for them though.

I am talking thousands - or if children's account were being used to hide savings so someone could claim benefits or avoid tax.

Incidentally children also have a tax allowance so as long as they aren't receiving more than £6475 pa they're fine. For instance if they were working (modelling?). For the most part though children earn much less than this even in interest so can claim back tax paid on savings interest.

MOJ2 no need to worry! I hope your ex does pay for a Florida jaunt - enjoy it with a clear conscience!

Quillion I think that's where we're going! I remeber the water tower...when they did it I straightaway thought it was 'local' but never did find out where...
