You could always give us the answers the next day then you should only get replies for that days question.

The way it is now, you will have people answering 5 days questions in one post while others have forgot what they answered on day one :huh:

I will give answers to questions a couple at a time rather than saving them to the end.

I should have thought this through....:(

I thought it might be fun to set a Christmas quiz. Answers in the New Year. It might end early if I get bored but never mind. Try not to use Google but if you do then I am reliably informed Santa will not be visiting you next year.

1. Which of the following are 'zero rated' or exempted for the purposes of VAT?
a. Children's car seats - No
b. Tampons - No
c. Chocolate body paint - No - I thinks it's classed as a cake decoration.
d. Pornographic magazines No
e. Gambling - too complicated
g. Frozen Chips - No
h. New Helicopters - No
i. New Cars - Yes

But it's Xmas morning and I'm already up and waiting for the rest of the house to surface after quite a long night wrapping and imbibing and persuading the grandson that sleep might actually be a good idea.....

Its interesting that people don't know what is Vatted - may be the American system of quoting pretax prices and adding the tax at the check out would help people understand where their money was going :eek:

Feel free to sue me for the monetary value of taking me out for the night )

Having said that, with the Aussie Dollar being one of the few currencies left in the world that anyone wants to hold even a small settlement might be advantageous to you!

No googling, how many pairs of shoes/boots, on average, does a UK woman own?

I currently own about 50. It used to be at least 3 times that, so I've cut down substantially. I'm guessing about 35 as an average as I know more people with fewer than me but some with far more.

I really wish we could have that system over here.....then people casn actually see how much of the price is tax (though not all 20% goes to govt as some is offset)

Gosh :eek: 50 ......I could have matched that if I hadn't had a cull (due to space issues) a couple of years back but I have exactly the average amount which is......

..........................17 according to this article



I believe the figure is quite high as feet don't really change whereas bodies do more so.....weight gain etc.

I guess average UK man has about 7 which could be 1 pair for each type of activity (work, sport, gardening, best etc)
