I’m going out for a blast on the bike … that’ll cheer me up god, I’m now officially old ! Junction 36 M1 to junction 37 A1 .. Derne Valley Parkway .. such an amazing race track , bowl shaped roundabouts, angled roundabouts … did it both ways at max mil …. Feel a lot happier now ( sorry , did I say race track, I meant nice road). Edited July 1, 2024 by Trooper74 2 3 Quote

I’m taking the pension as I’m now only working 3 days a week until April the 18th 2025 when the company are buying my shares and I’m off, like a rat up an aqueduct. 4 Quote
S-Westerly Posted July 1, 2024 Posted July 1, 2024 I would too in that position but because of the unique tax status of seamen in the UK I can't actually earn any income in the UK without making my entire income taxable whereas in a normal year it is exempt. Quote
