I'm pretty sure they use this formula?

Leslie[^] thought it was impressive on Thursday as well...

So that means it was impressive on Thursday, and it is impressive on Sunday (here in Pakistan), and by applying Maths; which I do not have any idea about, chances are that it will stay impressive for a while.

A little extrapolation is dangerous...
The only assumption that I would make is that it was impressive on Friday and Saturday.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

So, yesterday was the deadline for filling in the Self Assessment tax returns for last year here in the UK. Took me about 30 minutes to fill it in primarily because it said they owe me some money and I spent 20 minutes rechecking the figures. This is the first year in 20 years of filling them in that they have ever owed me money.

Only 30 minutes - I have a month to fill the papers, but I try to get the mood for a 3 hour, online session, which at the end will provide me with an endless printout (about 20 pages), that I will have to deliver personally!!!

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?

Don't you have internet there? We do it all online, in fact they prefer not to send you any letters. And if you don't change anything you don't have to think about it, as they get the payments from you employer and the money/stocks from the bank. I rented out my house for some years, that took me about 3 mins extra to fill in online.

|

That's the most 'funny' part of it! I do fill the form online, but at the end I have to fill a real paper form, and print the online form, and add all the mentioned documents I already scanned and attached to the online form, and put all this in a special (large size) envelop with my number on ,and go the the office and hand over the package...A freaking experience every year...

I thought you had to send all your money to Scotland nowadays.

You know, I'd actually prefer it to end up in Scotland rather than where a lot of it actually ends up

It's all about how well you record things during the year.
Keep on top of that (and if you don't, you don't know who owes you what anyway) and it's relatively easy.

They have hired people that only deals with this, full time. Including lobbying to politicians.

I guess your turnover is not large enough to exempt you from all taxes.

A couple of years ago, I had a VAT inspection. They happen every so often and this is the second one I have had in about 20 years.
In he comes and announces himself as a VAT fraud investigator. As I started to have a heart attack, he reassured me that he does the routine inspections as well and that's what this was. I told him to lead with that next time.
He was a nice bloke. His wife used to teach my daughters.

They demanded to see all the books and records, etc. When I offered them a cup of tea they looked at me like I was trying to bribe or distract them somehow. 
Their whole attitude appeared to be "You are obviously a criminal and we are here to catch you at it". 
and the implied threat was that they would catch me next time!![Java | [Coffee]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/coffee.gif)
and a biscuit and spent some time going over the books, etc. After a while he started "tut, tutting" and tapping away on his calculator - I started to get worried - he beckoned me over and said "You have an error here..." 
- I started to get upset as I had always tried to keep everything squeaky clean - "...yes, yes, this is wrong..." 
"...yes, you didn't claim enough for these home office expenses." - 
He then explained how I could have claimed more off my taxes for previous years and helped me fill out a form to adjust it on this year's return. He got me an extra £800 or so back from the taxman! 
I felt like asking him if he could come and audit me again every year!
