    Good morning shipmates :hello:

    Why are L0tto running adverts with "Who Wins If You Win"?

    It is none of their business! But I have wondered, if you won and gave someone some of your winnings, would they lose a proportion in tax? If yes, is there an Elite way around it? The things I worry about when this is a hypothetical situation ... :D.

    If you won a lot and wished to share it with some other people, it is amazing how a lottery syndicate agreement that you didn't think you had, would appear ;) Just remember to let the ink dry properly.

    Would save tax problems.

    Used the coconut rice as an invisible trigger:)

    I had to pay full price for tomatoes and mushrooms. I wouldn't have bothered but we have company staying and I'm mentally cooking breakfasts as I post. :rotfl:

    I could have given you both :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:


    I have lots of cherry tomatoes but what an experience getting them was. I have never seen anything like it. Was late from work & called at the HP A for diesel then popped in to see if there were any woopsies as was about the right time. I got talking to a couple of regulars I know and they said they had taken woopsies out the back for pricing. They brought them back and it was like a massive rugby scrum. There were 4 big trays of cherry toms so I got quite a few of those but everything else disappeared in seconds. I felt sorry for the assistant trying to put the trays back onto the shelves.
    Think I will stick to our locals in future.
