- Replying to @hselftaxReader, that was 49 years ago. I’ve been married to H for 41 years now; it was his 70th birthday yesterday. Not at home today, but he gave me a Valentine’s card yesterday, and I left one for him. So thanks, Malcolm, Paul, Paul,Robert and Nev for the fake card in 1975! 3/3 ❤️
- So…my Valentine’s story is from a long time ago. Some teenage lads thought it would be a good prank to send me a card, ostensibly from H. I liked H but wasn’t sure he liked me, so hoped the card was genuine. 1/n
- Replying to @hselftaxAfter a few days, I plucked up courage to ask H whether the card was from him. Of course, it wasn’t. But he asked whether I had hoped it was. And when I gave an encouraging response, he plucked up courage to ask me out a few weeks later. 2/n
- Reminds me of the time I introduced my 5yo to the music of The Beatles on a (very) long car journey. Next morning: “Could we have The Bugs again please?”
- Replying to @DocLarusI took my 5 month old to Norway, many years ago. It was great. However, I carefully took my Mum along so that we had 3 adults to one baby.
- Replying to @sarfrazmanzoorIt’s great, but it was not recorded yesterday - here is the same video on YouTube 3 years ago.
- If any subpostmasters affected by the scandal need help with their tax returns, the wonderful @rbeccabeneworth has set up a group of qualified volunteers who can help. Please spread the word.Hey everyone the website subpostmasterstax.org.uk is now live. Brief details of the tax position under the various compensation schemes and a contact us for those who need help and also for tax advisers wishing to volunteer their services FOC. 1/2
- Here’s a thought, for all those who admire Marcus Rashford and have been expressing sympathy - how about making a donation to the charity he supports, @FareShareUK ? A surge in donations would be a good way to show appreciation, I think.
- So it’s Sunday morning, I’ve had a cup of tea and it’s time for a little #taxnerdery on the hot topic of #NadhimZahawi 1/n (fairly short 🧵 )
- Replying to @BBCSimonJackSounds as if they had to swap a Pendolino set (9 or 11 coaches) for a Voyager (5; sometimes doubled up)? All rolling stock now comes in “sets” so they can’t just add/remove coaches as needed - unlike in my Grandad’s day (he was an LNER driver).
- Replying to @Pontus4PopeNo, but I strongly suspect it! It was done in fun not malice, and we stayed friends.
- Replying to @LucyGoBagOn Tuesday I helped my elderly cousin close one bank account, move some savings to get a better rate, and apply for another account. She can’t do it online: she can’t get to the bank unless I take her; she can’t cope with the phone systems. Banks should give more help IMO.
