I'll have a think.......but............there is NO WAY that you'd pay tax twice. You need to speak with a professional. There are some questions re the amount of time that your parents spend in the UK, S

I'd never dreamt of that (and with the greatest respect I also couldn't/wouldn't be bothered), but well done you.

One of our favourite pastimes is having breakfast (or lunch), (or drinks !) by the pool and watching the swallows dipping and diving ( I assume for a drink ?) into the pool. A sight to behold indeed ! They're VERY good and almost acrobatic flyers(or is it fliers ?) aren't they ? S And by the way..........I know this was mentioned earlier..............the fireflies are performing VERY well in the evening at the mo !!
