Fury as British Troops Face Full VAT on Private School Fees While US Military Are Exempt
UK Armed Forces have always been treated unfairly they don’t have anyone to fight for them be it pensions , pay rises, accommodation, working hours I retired in 1991 the working conditions of a soldier were disgraceful compered to that of the other services police , fire , prison they all had unions who represented them we did even have Health and Safety it was a case of suck it up !

Teeth implants
I decided to have my remaining teeth pulled with the plan to have implants . Three weeks later Covid arrived and Thailand went into lockdown having lived without teeth for so long when Covid ended I changed my mind and had dentures made and although they were perfect I seldom wear them . I grew a beard which I have trimmed every week and am very comfortable and confident when I go out for the night minus my choppers at 74 years young I don’t want to spend 1,000s on implants only to end up in the local temple a few months later that money is better spent elsewhere ! I spent my money on a new Toyota cross hybrid every time I drive it brings a smile to my face changing the subject my friend just had his eyes done cost him 150k for both eyes so that’s the avenue im now exploring as I hate wearing glasses
