credit crunched boaters

[bottle]

You would pay tax and ni on around £7000 only you forgot the tax allowance code, whatever that is these days around the £5000 touch i think.

 

Didn't forget it on average I paid in deductions 25% what I did forget was the extras taken out of my wages for union and pension.

 

 

it works out as the following (after PAYE and NI)

 

Yearly

£10,087.60

 

Monthy

£840.63

 

Weekly

£193.99

 

Daily

£38.80

 

Thank you 'Grahoom' I was out by £20 a week (roughly), £20 a week is a lot though.

"You were lucky. We lived for three months in a brown paper bag in a septic tank. We used to have to get up at six in the morning, clean the bag, eat a crust of stale bread, go to work down the mill fourteen hours a day, week in, week out, and when we would go home, dad would thrash us to sleep with his belt."

 

Sorrry......couldn't resist.

Does anyone else think that the phrase "credit crunch" - which I think the Americans invented because they didn't want to say "recession", is stupid? (Along the lines of "friendly fire", meaning, we just killed a load of our allies by mistake). Sounds like a frigging breakfast cereal.

Recession means a shrinking economy, Credit Crunch means an inability to borrow money. The two are not synonymous, right now they just happen to be occurring at the same time. Previous recessions have not had this bank lending problem running in tandem.

But, he responded, sharpening his sword of sophistry, if you have a "credit crunch" you will surely have a recession. As sure as eggs is eggs.

 

Still sounds like a breakfast cereal though.......

...with the eggs to follow, no doubt!

I believe that the current personal tax-free allowance is just over £6,000 p.a. - so your first £120 a week, give or take a quid, is Brown- and Darling-proof, until of course you take your money and buy something with it.

My gross weekly wage is £114.60. I pay tax and NI on that, unfortunately, bringing my pay down to £113.74.

I'd forgotten about the N.I., sorry (as a self-employed bod I pay mine quarterly). So that blooming Broon nicks 84p a week from you, if my maths are correct.

There's always hundreds of boats listed on Appolo Duck though.

 

In all honesty, how many are seriously up for sale ?

 

 

And some are sold or sale agreed or wanted ads too.

[Pretty Funked Up]

yeah alot of boats are just testing the market. They put a price and only sell if they get it offered. (ie no room to bargain). then i guess then just stop advertising and buy a license again

Its actually 86p. Mind you, it may have been 84p at the time you posted, old Gordo probably thought he could sneak a bit on without us noticing.
