So, I don't think I have to pay VAT if buying from another EU country...I'm not sure I fully understand to be honest.

You do pay VAT but it will most likely be included in the price so your won't be paying anything extra on import (obviously that will probably all change in a few years).

26% of the value of the item?

There's a whole range of rates depending what the item is, how much it costs, where it's from, etc

The duty and vat will be paid on the item value with the shipping forming part of that.

I'd say the bigger issue is that Dyche doesn't like to drop a player straight in unless he really has to. Whether it's loyalty to existing players, having to earn your shirt or the feeling that players need to be fully immersed in our structure before they're ready I don't know. It does mean that a ...

To be fair, it's a lot easier for a mid-table Championship side to sign a player who is better than they already have, than for a mid-table Premier League side to do it. I reckon that Tarkowski and Mee, and for that matter Keane, are all better players for than Cahill was then; if a 19 year old Cah...

She will be living in Dagenham and using Becontree Tube station to go to central London. Her office is close to Vauxhall Tube station. So, Becontree is in Zone 5. One thing to note is that the next station down the line, Upney, is in Zone 4. Using this station would potentially save about a tenner ...

One thing I would advise is to download the Citymapper app. It's by far the best app for getting around London and normally gives a few options so you can decide what you prefer if it's for a repeated journey like a commute.

aggi

Always best to ask a local. There's a number of dodges and wheezes (legal) that the regulars know about but you won't find easily on a website. Prepaid bus and tube combos, etc. And allowable zone transfers. You could almost think the system is deliberately designed to fleece as much as possible fr...

aggi - is it worth downloading the app and registering your contactless card to help monitor your usage? Mine is registered on the website which I'd guess is the same thing. It has some useful stuff. You can see your journey history, how much you've spent and see whether you've hit the daily or wee...

aggi

To start with I'd just use a contactless credit card. It caps at a weekly travel card price. Keep an eye on that for a month or so and see how much they're actually using the tube. After that it can be worth getting a monthly, quarterly or annual pass. They're each progressively cheaper but only wor...

This is a perfect chance to play a game of Corbynite-numpty bingo (by which I mean the politicians who know the below stuff, not our friends on here who may not do).

If a new Labour leader pushes for a close trade deal with freedom of movement (or something close to it) that will lead to a Boris decade (because in 2024 voters will fear a renegotiation of whichever trade deal we have) - so it may not be about Brexit per se, but it is about what led to Brexit (th...

So aside from the loan deals that haven’t been a waste of time our loans have been a waste of time? Sounds about right. It’s difficult to get good loan deals when you’re a middle/lower end Premier League side because the players that the better sides are willing to loan out are generally no better ...

Starmer would probably be a good choice in that you'd expect he'd be good at holding Johnson to account at PMQs and elsewhere. You don't get to be one of the best QCs in the country without a talent for detail and cross examination. Given how shambolic the Tories have been in the past few years, Lab...

If it's any of the staunch remainers, Labour will drift into irrelevance (again). If I had the casting vote, I'd go for Lavery. He has a decent chance should RLB decide not to stand, and someone from the Corbyn wing simply has to stand, don't they? It would seem odd to hand Labour back to the centr...

Everton are not much better than us and kenny was third choice behind Coleman and Holgate. Would be no better than what we have now.

A 22 year old at the level of our current full backs would be decent given that you'd hope they'd improve over the next 5 years.

Looks like Keir Starmer is the big favourite now. Not sure if that's the route I'd have gone. I'd have gone for someone like Jarvis to start with.

They only reason they are doing well is that they are defending far better than us at the moment. They are a far more long ball team than us according to the stats. I'd say describing them as a far more long ball team is definitely pushing it. They've played 40 more (or ~ 2.5%) long balls than us. ...

I use Nutmeg, mainly for simplicity and speed rather than absolutely maximising returns. Returns are decent, something like 6% p.a. at the moment but obviously there is risk.

It's worse than that because she's already voted for this deal and voted multiple times against a referendum to get an alternative solution. So she basically hasn't been thinking about it until now, blindly voted for it without reading it, voted against any way to get a different solution and now s...

Will we be on the EU queue with Ireland, or will they make Ireland queue in the non-EU section? I suspect the former.

I see Zac Goldsmith, and possibly others, has been given a seat in the House of Lords so that he can continue in the cabinet after losing his seat in the elections.
