Who else doesn't? Quite a few hide their p&p but I hadn't seen the tax trick before

I was trying to remember...I know I've been caught a couple of times but can't think who it was :( (I have a feeling that Pendraken went through a phase of not displaying prices with VAT but they show both now, I'm sure Leon will tell me I imagined it :) ).

I'm trying to imagine a government that tells ordinary people that it doesn't need their money.

A section of Senegalese Tirailleurs from Warlord/Bolt Action, but purchased from Caliver Books - £12.82 and free postage, as against £15.00 + P&P. Planning to buy a conventional French platoon - sorry, peloton! - from Crusader when they have any sort of deal on, paint them as Senegalese as they seem to have worn the Adrian helmets just like everyone else when there was nasty stuff flying about, and use the Warlord figures for NCOs/fisticuffs markers for a bit of colour.

Well, yes - but that wouldn't stop the bastards wanting it, would it? :purps:

Is there any point in talking about how tax is just a notional means to depress spending and doesn't exist in a fiat currency economy?
