It says I am £369.10 better off - but I did guess some of the questions about Tom's car

25 odd pounds better off, if I give up the fags. not amaaaazing. But better than nothing I suppose!

 

[Jinja]

I don't get it.

it says at the moment i will be £78 worse off but when i change jobs i'll be £108 better off??

sneaky bastard may have cut 2p off the 20p rate, but he's abolishing the 10p lower rate too!



if you can afford to buy a chelsea tractor/porsche/ferrari.... £200 extra Road tax aint gonna bother people is it!

scrap it, and whack up fuel duty. fairer system for all - and might encourage people to drive more fuel efficient motors.
