There's a black one with blacked out windows and a white one.

Without calling the black one lazy I prefer the white one for Police stopping purposes, or mistaken drive bys.

Figured we needed one, as one pops up every other week, might as well bump them all into one?

Anyway, tax question - I've got tax that I can supposedly reclaim (working as a student etc) and I still have my wage slips, but I'm technically not working there anymore. When I come back to Glasgow in two weeks - can I phone them up and explain and still claim it back?

Think you need to speak to the local tax office. Is there a phone number on your pay slips? If not just google it.

Always check you have bog roll before having a dump.

Priceless advice that.

Aye will do, but is it possible to claim tax for a job that was 4 months ago basically?

Haha, I know, favourite book, that!

I know, but I don't want to look and sound like a chump tbh. Just asking cuz I know some people on here know their stuff!

@the esk probably?

Mate you just need to contact HMRC. You will need the following details:
Your full name, address, date of birth and National Insurance number;
Details of employers – their PAYE scheme reference number, which should be shown on your payslip, or ask your employer

You will have to fill out a form (P50 from memory). Should be very straightforward

think its good advice to phone tax office anyway. no need not to, but a tax refund should happen automatically if it has been taken at source. at the end of tax year they will calculate on your annual earnings rather than weekly/monthly and you will get it all back if below the threshold. threshold is something like £800 a month

Reminds me of a time in the cavern club when I had to rip a poster off the wall. I often wonder if I caused the next Beatles to remain in obscurity because I used their advertisement to wipe my ring with.
