Rep Power: 4  | Gidday to all english (pommie) cousins
Hi anyone around mid england Manchester, Liverpool? I am heading over there in 2 weeks 31st jan for business but would like to catch up with some GT40 owners to see your cars or projects, share a pint or two, talk about the cricket etc.
By the way I believe there is a new tax in England
The YLTA (You Lost The Ashes) tax of 5% on any products from Aus.
Cya all soon. I hope

Greg,
with comments like that I don't know if anyone will want to speak to You !!
OK so we are smarting a bit, if I was up that way you would be welcome.
The only new tax we have is YWTA (you won the Ashes) and applies to all Australians entering the country, 15% on your air fare to help with practice costs for the England team!!

Hi Murray
the only reason us Aussies are bragging is because its all we can brag about at the moment. got to take it while its there.
any reason to have a drink. Havent heard from the Barmy Army much though.
How far south is Devon from Manchester?

A long long way (at least for England!). Don't jest about a new tax, didn't one get mentioned two days ago on the news? And a retrospective one at that. I think it was an increase in airport tax so that if you have bought your tickets before the tax was introduced you couldn't fly until you had paid it. Or something like that. We should stick to stealth planes not stealth taxes....

Hi Greg,
there is about 280 miles between where I live in Devon and Manchester. About a 5 hour drive depending on traffic and weather.
Malcolm, you are right, more stealth taxes coming in, bloody disgrace.
