And LUFC agree with my assumptions and they are also in possession of the facts. Surprisingly though you didn't mention that did you? Do you think HMRC have been playing this totally 'straight' Rick, or do you think they may also be involved with some bluffing, game playing, bluster etc etc? Ditto the FL? You seem to suggest that in these difficult business negotiations there is only one party who is playing the game, and as if that is either unusual or morally wrong? _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
