It was always a half slice of cheese. I know - I worked there 17 years ago. How sad.

It was always a 1/2 slice of cheese.
Did you know the Fillet-o-fish was invented by a franchisee in the UK as he was worried that not enough people were visiting his store on a friday. (there was a large cathloic population in the area)

I received my VAT number on Friday!
who advised you to register for vat? is this a new business?
that's an unnecessary expense - is your business really going to have a taxable turnover of £60,000 in the next month?
VAT registration numbers on the foot of any company documentation gives the purchaser a feeling of confidence when working with a sole trader. Especially when dealing with "talent", be it v/o, cabaret or other performance related work.
It may be an unneccessary expense in the actuality of the business, but it can help secure contracts.
Thank you, Gavin. My sentiments entirely.
