    Apologies graciously accepted.:)

    But oh dear as agrinnall has pointed out in their opinion you are taking up unnecessary space on the forums, just think if we all do that the worldwide web will soon be full and no one will be able to post again on any forum .;):D
    I guess the irony whooshed over your head. :cool:

    If you're so concerned about space, maybe report my post to the mods and let them decide if it's worth the space it's taking up.

    Just report my post if you don't like it.
    Otherwise, just move on.

    Guys, just a quick warning if you receive an email from the HMRC saying that you are eligible to unexpectedly receive hundreds of pounds due to overpaid tax and all you need to do is click on a link and give them all your personal details then it is definitely a scam.

    That is all this thread needs, lets all move on......

    I owe them £30k apparently - I wish I earned enough to accrue a tax debt of that size :rotfl:

    Oh dear I think it is you that has missed the irony, did you not notice the smiley, the wink and the grin in my post.

    If after all these years on the these forums you cannot see when someone is agreeing with you and joking I will leave you to get on with your interpretation of forum posts, sad really but have a good day.
