In the UK there is a crazy band between £100k and £125k where for each two pounds above £100k you lose one pound from your personal allowance (personal allowance is £12.5k).

The effective tax rate for this is 60% then it carries on at the regular 40%

Always has struck me as odd.

Never paid this rate myself because I don’t get paid enough. Apparently it disincentives doctors from doing overtime.

Slowly going downhill?

I think it’s in freefall (but what would I know I don’t go there anymore)

Sometimes if the bombers failed to find a target or if the got damaged by anit-aurcraft fire they would fly home and rather than land with a load of unexploded bombs on board they would drop them elsewhere. Maybe a field, maybe the sea…

In the UK some shops would sell you a single cigarette for less the ten of our new pennies. Around '86 I think.

I hope that cat is called Zorro

The adage is correct. Cat doesn’t fit, cat doesn’t sit

Yes, it has an upper limit though as I discovered after cycling to the garage to pick up my car with just my phone. Triple cycling joy that day 🙄
