    Thanks, just thought I'd pop in, having researched the subject (R) some years ago for someone else, thought it may help, and it seemed to be the consensus of officials I spoke to.

    Good to hear your dulcet tones. Again Ivan. Hope alls well with you. Have you got to the walking stick stage yet I. Hope not.Thought it was sometime in the 70s that the UK prefix came out. No bad discharges then as no where to put them, only ones were from other places. All the best And a happy new year late as it is. JS

    Double taxation it sounds like.
    Hi John.
    Steering off course a bit, but in Kiwi land you pay tax from the first dollar you earn that includes pensions, the dole, banks interest, whatever.

    Yes Des, so they told me not a good way to go at 29% of all monies. It takes a big chunk out of your funds.
    Double taxation as much of the monies in pensions etc has already been taxed at source.
    Happy daze John in Oz.

    Hello John, crossed fingers, no sticks yet, as have a four week dancing holiday booked in Tenerife, leaving in 3 weeks, not solely dancing of course, but at our age anything can happen, as we all know too well;had to cancel the last one because of gout and sepsis (bluddy painful), the latter caught in time by a very observant doctor in A & E, when my GP Surgery (I saw 13 different doctors) after 11 Xrays and 20 blood tests missed it completely

    Really pleased to see you back here Ivan . What you say about sepsis going undiagnosed is actually a lot more common than any others think trouble is when they realise what it is it's often too late so I think that you're one Lucky guy

    Believe me Rob, I know I lucky I am and also how stupid I nearly was, had been to see a friend in Wales who had had a stroke and his wife persuaded me to go to A & E in Torquay when I got home, so we dropped in upon arrival in Torquay, but the queues put me off, so carried on home. Got home the pain in my leg was intense and SWMBO gave me so much earache we went back to A & E, where they discovered the sepsis, so thanks to two women, an observant doctor, and a wonderful NHS I'm still here and dancing. It was only after the event, the doctor's conversation and reading up on it, I realised how lucky I was and to think it can all be set off by a scratch as big as a pinprick.

    Ivan, welcome home.
    Yes it does not take long for infection to set in.
    Last year scratched by a Rose thorn and though nothing of it until a couple of days later when my leg came up like a balloon.
    Two weeks of treatment and told scratches from a Rose can be one of the worst you can have.
    Happy daze John in Oz.
