They could, of course, tweak any inheritance tax and get the money back retrospectively.

If happily provide a plot for a few. Maybe I'd try growing some roses on it.

How lovely.

It could be cost effective and more convenient for all parties concerned if we could start accommodating a lot more immigrants and enemies of the state (and States) in active military bases.

We have a window cleaner, usually every 2 or 3 weeks.  £25 for doing nine windows and a conservatory of nine windows, all at ground level.  More expensive than those above, but he's kept that price for a few years now.
Personally, I'd have them cleaned once a quarter or even twice a year, but Marge is the boss...!

Although I'm over 70, I'm not on Pension Credit.
If it were down to me, I wouldn't pay the BBC Tax, but t'wife wants to do it.  I might occasionally watch a BBC programme, but I'd keep the blinds down and turn the telly off if a knock on the door!

Agreed.

Turning the lights on is cheaper than window cleaners
