In hindsight this might have been a bit much for the early afternoon shift but ah well.

Whole album is worth your time to be fair.

Been trying to explain test cricket to the lad.

Runs don’t matter, twenty wickets is what you need otherwise you’ll never win.

You really don’t need to explain to me what local councils do.

Mandatory yes, but not a tax. Also complicated by differential.

The distinction is important bc of the misunderstanding people have, where they think if their property doubles in value, their rates bill must do the same

Rates aren’t a land tax though. Property values (or in some areas land values) are just used as a mechanism for apportioning the general rates take across a district
