And now max connection failure

I wonder if I am an albatross

Mad TaxMan

As everyone in the UK knows, VAT has gone up, but did you know the things you can pay tax on ??

for example, Sanitary Towels (lady products) are tax free, Honey bees are tax free, but here is the mad part, Bumble Bees have VAT, that’s right if you purchase Bumble Bees (who would do this exactly, since honey bees can also pollinate and don’t have VAT) then you pay 20% tax on them
