I have recently applied to do an MA at Nottingham University.
One of the questions on the online form was "Do your parents live in the UK"
I answered NO
The university called me on Friday in a confuzzled state. eveilgrin:
I confirmed the answer.
"Well where do they live?"
"Nowhere"
"Wot?"
"They are dead"
The wumman had the grace to apologise eveilgrin:

You could have done better with her replying: "Did they live in the UK at any time, or have they always been dead?"

The "gubberment" has no money of it's own. You're taking money out of taxpayers pockets, my pocket, money I'd prefer to use myself.

Uncle has a bitter streak noooo: noooo:

Bitter moi?
Of course I'm bitter. I'm taxed on my pension and savings (money I already paid tax on when I earned it) just so the government can give it away to all and sundry.

Are you taxed on your savings or just any interest/dividends from them?

interest/dividends ~ I've maxed out with Premium Bonds and ISAs since retirement but still taxed on the miserly return from Bonds and general savings. cussing:

Clearly, the gubberment doesn't want anybody to save.... You have to go out and spend it all to boost the economy.... ::)
We have a 30% 'defence tax' (tax) on interest from savings here...
They'll have negative interest rates soon - mark my werds! cussing:

:thumbsup: My new car fund is about to get 'diverted' (but I like my current car)
Taxing interest on accounts has always been wrong imho. The man in the street should only get taxed on net interest/dividends minus inflation as that's the only net gain you actually get - in most years bugger all or a net loss. But it won't happen.
As for negative interest rates IIRC BM is in the Eurozone so they should already be in place after last week's announcements.
