Since I started working in the summer (oh how long ago that feels), I’ve been taxed on the most draconian tax code known to an Englishman (or Englishwoman). Despite filling in a tax return every year and being scrupulous about declaring every penny, they have taxed me as if I’ve been earning bucket loads of dosh without being on Pay As You Go. Pah.

I got home yesterday to find a letter from them and I ripped it open with glee because I was so sure they had worked out that I’m an honest Jane and have basically earned nothing for ever. Sadly it was not to be. It was completely unrelated and hence I’m still being taxed enough to make me think they want to make up for lost time! Bloody tax man.
