Drifting a bit off topic, I think absolutely massive savings could be obtained by completely bombing the tax / benefits system; think about the number of people and the costs associated with administering youre life; the money-go-round is completely farcical when you think about it - a department to administer each activity of a typical day....
get up have breakfast (VAT on some items)
drive to work (fuel duty, vehicle licence etc)
work (income tax, national insurance, corporate taxes, VAT reclaims)
pub lunch (duty on the beer)
etc, etc....
Oh, and I can then reclaim some of the money they've taken from me; family credit, child benefit, childcare allowance, scrap my old car, change my boiler, give money to charity (make sure you ask for gift aid).
I could go on forever!
This all costs vast sums of money to administer - cut that. Message to Dick Cleggeron and the Condems - stop faffing about with a couple of million on stations and the like and simplify the tax / benefits system. Please.
