This would be the same HMRC that ultimately answers to George Osborne?
It's not the VAT rise I mind so much as the fact that my network seems to think a 10% rise in the cost of its service is justifiable the minute VAT rises.

(Though I will start to seriously question the VAT rise if the Royal Fucking Wedding looks in the slightest bit extravagant.)
