why do they not sell you a cold pasties, and in shop there is based a pasty warming charity who do it for free..simplesIt is nice to see the value of your house going up'' Why ?
Unless you are planning to sell up and not live anywhere, I can;t see the advantage.
If you are planning to upsize the new house will cost more.
If you are planning to downsize your new house will cost more than it should
If you are trying to buy your first house its almost impossible.0 -

As previously said, these old Etonians have no idea what a pasty is. They would rather we discussed pasties than their private dinners with wealthy interest groups and individuals who pay them to shape policy for their personal benefit.

OK, define "fresh".If it sticks, force it.
If it breaks, well it wasn't working right anyway.0 -
I must admit I don't really understand the argument against this. Why shouldn't greggs pay VAT? Why should a takeaway selling fried chicken have to pay VAT but tesco don't when they sell fried chicken from their hot food stand?
It seems ridiculous that these loopholes exist and I think they should be closed. Obviously it'll be annoying paying VAT on greggs but as if I have to pay it at McDonald's I accept I should pay it at greggs.
It's not even down to the political parties as labour can pose in front of as many greggs as they like but they'll never repeal it when they get back in. It's currently just cheap political point scoring!This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0
