Lay My Hat

Indeed, but anyone planning building works (e.g.), who has the means to start them now (start them), might as well do so.

Scapping the 5.5% TVA on work is one of the measures the government has expressly excluded from its pruning measures (if the article cited is accurate).

No point in lying awake at night over this (yet). Also, possibly no point in counting on the "top ten most expensive tax concessions" referred to in RD's artice, as 40% of them are specifically excluded from any pruning (in the later references in the same article to the government's decla...

They're not idiots, GG. Although sometimes....

No problem with our spotlights, MG, but we've got high ceilings.

It's a small oven. Sounds good.

Ths is true, Pepsi (they could just report it lost and cancel it).
However, they would be risking criminal charges.

A French cheque is different from a UK cheque in that you can't,without serious banking law consequences, cancel a French cheque unless it has been lost or stolen.

Kostas, Do you have business contacts with local hotels, apart from your holiday letting business? If so, you might have access to special treatment that owners without these contacts don't have. (One of your websites looks like a hotel advisory site.) I don't like offering a service I can't guarant...

That's an amazing cucumber, Partridge.
(No, I wouldn't bother with potatoes, either.)
