There was a thread on here where I posted I needed the patience of a Saint in my job (which I do now) so Teapot asked what I did. I’m not going to divulge what I do for a living on…

1% income tax should be applicable to everyone.

I think the government should make it an offence for all employers to pay into that
K2 scheme. You just know the BBC are up to their neck in it.

I thought Carr was employed by Channel 5? Or Dave or some other channel?
