Something that has really bugged me recently. All this 'Just for Women' rubbish. An example of this is Diamond insurance. It is 100% sexist and should not be legal. I mean, imagine if there was an insurance company just for men, can you imagine the outcry?!? With all these femenists around nowadays that would never be legal.

The only reason women get cheaper car insurance is because they never go over 20mph!!

Anyway, does anyone agree with me on this, or disagree??

Please reply...

Check that MacDonalds receipt again.. your milkshake was tax exempt wink.gif

There are three rates of VAT in the UK:

17.5% (standard rate);
5% (reduced rate); and
0% (zero rate).

I'm pretty sure childrens clothes fall into the 5% band.... and milkshakes (to go) are VAT exempt (but not if you drink it in - 17.5% (I think))
