VAT

Will VAT come of the beer?

Feeling bored, Seb?

I am shocked and appalled at Reading Football Club:

If I bought a ticket for the Coventry game today, before this 'change' they would have charged me £26.50 (or £29.50 in the Upper West).

Now it's £26 (or £29).

The proper prices should have been £25.93 and £28.87 (UW).

In the first case the club have conned me out of 7p, in the second, nearly DOUBLE that - 13p.

If Reading football club sold 6 million tickets they'd make £420,000 and £780,000 respectively.

Typical oxf*rd money grabbing Madejski.

I want to know what STAR are going to do about it. Are you going to fight for our rights? I will be coming to the hut personally tonight to discuss this, and see how I can get involved in the campaign.

You know what, Seb - you're right. Or nearly - your rounding is inconsistent, as the "over-pyaments" are actually 6.4 pence (i.e. 6 p) and 12.7 pence (i.e. 13p) pence. You can't round both up just to support your argument ....

I'm currently working on a way that delivery of your missing money can be made directly to you - my preferred method is for every Cardiff supporter on Boxing day to be given a picture of you and a bag containing 19 pennies. That should ensure that the money reaches you in person.

Anyway, JM is a Tory - shouldn't you be out smearing the enemy, not one of your own?

I like this plan. Can I throw coins at Seb too?

EXACTLY!!!! I want my VAT to come of the beer.

It has but the same amount went straight back on as additional booze duty! HM Govt don't want to encourage people to drink more in their depressed states!
