So, Brexit is going to cause food and medicine shortages and civil unrest

and mass unemplyment and a crashed economy. All this less than a year away.

Meanwhile, the FTSE stands at 7,700 points.

Someone is telling porkies. And markets don't lie...

mass unemplyment eh? that would flip the current market on its fúcking head.

shirley in this imminent return to the dark ages, we'll all be tilling the land to grow food to sell to each other or trade for other services. That's sort of employment, isn't it?

Well I definitely believe the bloke from Amazon, which relies on the EU to avoid paying squillions in tax.

When I'm working on my Top 5 albums list, I always forget Nebraska. How can you forget Nebraska?

1. Darkness
2. Born To Run
3. The Rising
4. The River
5. Nebraska

That's it, that's the definitive list.

Of course not. Any business that doesn't do everything in its power to minimise its tax liabilities doesn't deserve to be in business. :shrug:

However, it does mean I will tend to take with a pinch of salt anything that business says with regard to an organisation that helps facilitate its lessening of its tax liabilities.

It's the thing I have never quite understood about you. There is a strong argument to say it is his best album. Without question it is his most remarkable and one of the most remarkable ever made. In every sense.

And you prefer The Rising :(

Go figure.....

Well, 'prefer' is a strong term. That is a list of works of genius, the exact order of which is largely immaterial.

The Rising was a hugely important album, for the people of the USA and for me personally. Whaddyagonnadoaboutit?

Now, if ever there was a made up job, there it is.

Naturally he was one of the most narcissitic fúckers I have ever met.

Granted, he could positively influence the mood of the meeting room.

I get why it was important and I appreciate that the order of the list is largely irrelevant. It's just.... well, it isnt really that good.

What happened to GOTJ? Come on........

it is amazing how much research and development Amazon do. All offest against tax liabilities.
I understand their automated warehousing project cost them nothing due to tax relief against R&D.

wd Amazon imo, they don't make the rules, after all.

I am glad you are back to being your usual benign self today Sir c
Yesterday you seemed to be slightly terse of mood
I shied away from asking what ails you in the hope that you were merely suffering a rare dog day

Much love

Does that include VAT?

Have you never bought a car before, b?

There is no VAT on used car sales, b.

The dealer pays VT on his margin, but he doesn't charge you VAT, what with the VAT having been initially paid when the car was sold new.

Of course, if a new car is pre-registered by a dealership as a demonstrator and the VAT reclaimed, when the vehicle is subsequently sold as a used car, VAT will have to be added back into the price. Such a car is said to be 'VAT qualifying'.

I sort of assumed it was a Springsteen lyric, i. My question regarding VAT was really by way of an attempt to introduce a note of bathos to the lyrics' highly romanticised Americana.

It was a Springsteen lyric, apart from the price. In the song the car is NOT for sale.

I mean, him and his partner Sonny built it straight out of scratch......

It's a gearbox. A manual gearbox, with what them yankees call a 'stick shift' poking out of the floor.
