    My son was one of the first employees in Monzo bank which is purely online with no branches. I was an early adopter of the bank as I felt I had to support him after I’d been with Barclays all my life. I’ve found it a breeze to use and now can look at my other accounts on the same app which is useful too.

    Does using "linked accounts" allow your main bank to see balances and spending on the linked accounts.

    - but I assume they come from Ukraine, so may become either unavailable or unaffordable.

    Too true, I've just bought a couple of 20kg bags and paid just over £40 each for them.

    Thanks for the replies all, they’ve been helpful! Is the purchase of shooting rights subject to VAT then? I assumed it would be similar to the purchase of a property and so have no VAT implication, but perhaps a capital gain if they were ever resold for more…

    The standard rate of VAT applies to the sale of sporting rights where those rights are sold away from the land, see VAT Notice 742 (6.1)

    The best landlord insurance, covering rent losses and legal fees, is worth its weight in gold. Whilst it doesn't do away with the hassle rotten tenets cause, it sure does away with spending hard earned money on legal fees and non payment of rent. They also give sound advice.

  5. People in vehicle and trailer from a 'shooting party'

    The people in the vehicle and trailer which fell into the river in Roeburndale were from a "shooting party" and "travelling on private land", police have confirmed.

    Oh give over please! 😂

    I fear some think the Queen woke up one morning and thought, oh, I'll make that Blair chap a Knight of the Garter...........whereas the more enlightened know very well that the Queen is "advised" on such matters.

    other than a minimal reference to avian flu .... without comment on its relevance to the wildfowl - and game shooter - diddly.

    It, the Basc Avian Flue page, seems to be pretty comprehensive to me. I don't really understand what else you expect them to say.

    Not sure that qualifies him as successful except in his own eyes of course.

    From the mid nineties the tories were sufficiently dysfunctional as to make them unelectable. Much like Labour for the last 12-13 years. Blair didn't "win" three elections, the tories "lost" them.

    The smartest thing Blair ever did was to pick precisely the right time to step down so that Golden Brown had to carry the blame for losing the next election.

    What I most dislike about Blair's tenure is that he - or more probably his puppet masters - realised that government can create statutory laws for more than just making the country safer and more secure. What they started and what is still happening is using the law-making process to control people's behaviour by progressively removing our long cherished freedoms and at the same time handing ever greater powers to Brussels.

    Never mind party politics, I so miss the personal freedoms that we used to have in this country and that I knew throughout my childhood and formative years.

    Blair & Co with their "New Labour" pretext weren't new at all, it was just window dressing. Behind the façade it was Old Labour with the all the traditional socialist's fear and dread of the people having too much freedom - so, with the willing help of the EU, they set about removing it.

    What a splendid post, sums it up nicely.

    Put it this way, I've never seen a coarse angler damage others property, then be abusive to the owner, nore bark at me to put my dogs on a lead in public and then be insulting because I declined their rude order. Neither leave a gate open letting the land owners sheep out. Or many other instances of poor or illegal behaviour. 

    You'd make a cracking good publicity officer for the LACS
