I love that as a collective noun! I'm going to use it from now on. Shall we talk terms over the IPR? Big Grin

For now. Not sure what it'll be called by next week.
Yes, I've seen Wangland going around on the interweb but my personal favourite is Where? (with the question mark, just like Westward Ho!).

Would you like a cup of tea?

Mmmm.  Look at all those yummy cookies and here I thought Brits all ate biscuits and gravy with their tea.  Must be the US-ian influence.  (Always glad to help.  Big Grin)  Oh yeah, and welcome to the boards.

I'm not sure why you would think they would be mutually exclusive. Unless you think that since I am a faceless bureaucrat (my words not yours, generally how we are referred to in the UK) I must worship at the altar of bureaucracy?

Envious of your climate, I did spot a sunbeam earlier but it was gone before I could get my camera, forever confined to myth and legend.

Hehe... I was trying to avoid generalizing while encouraging you to provide your unique point of view on the subject.
I guess... a tax collector would be aware of which bureaucracy stems from the EU and which stems from the UK and to spot which seems to provide a better outcome for the overall population... or something along those lines...
So... what is your point of view on the subject?

Oh... don't edit your replies, unless... you know... you actually want to change something.
During your first 30 days on this forum, your consecutive replies (within, I think, 20 minutes of each other) get concatenated into one reply, separated by the horizontal bar [ hr ] shown below:

Oh... and tapatalk?
It is advisable to navigate the mobile site, from your browser.... that way you can hand out Kudos! Big Grin (and avoid spamming that "signature" that tells everyone you're using tapatalk... sheesh! )

I'll see if I can get this right this time!

I may post my views on Brexit on one of the Brexit threads at some stage, but there is a lot of hate there at the moment, from all sides, and I just can't be arsed with that at the moment (I'm getting it enough in my real life at the mo).

Hey, welcome, also from the UK.

A tax inspector huh? Don't get too many people openly admitting to that!

Hope you stick around ^_^
