The tax debate continues
Just going back to the point I made in Taxing Issues (that adding tax on is a better way than including it). I was interested to read vagueofgodalming and naleksander and others who feel the British way is better.
I must say I spent the first few years I lived in the US annoyed by never knowing what something was going to cost but I changed my mind in time. In fact it annoys me now when I don't see it separated out - as OldSouth points out you cannot do it at gas stations, either in the US or the UK. Why not?
And on the subject of gas stations, why oh why does Britain persist, almost alone in the advanced world, in refusing to allow people to pay for petrol with a card at the pump?
My goodness, even in Belgium this convenience is offered! But in the early morning drizzle on the way to Heathrow I found myself having to queue behind people buying porn mags and milk and industrial quantities of diesel...
We should make a list of US and UK small-but-important changes that can improve life and arrange for them to be circulated.
Hello, I'm
