I read with interest the above article in the Oct edition of Moneywise as I had never understood the meaning of the letter following the tax code.   On checking mine I see that I am a 'P' - aged 65-74 and get full personal allowance.   Fine. but as a married man why am I not rated as a 'V' and receiving the full personal allowance AND the married couple's allowance?  

I recently had to pay a holiday company (Portland) my final balance. Their invoice states that they only accept debit cards (by phone), a building society cheque or a credit card (at extra cost); but not a Bank cheque, despite the fact we are not travelling for another 3 months. Is this legal?

During the last few months I have seen the same explanation of short-selling about 50 times. However, this doesn't make sense to me.

According to the explanation, someone wishing to make a profit borrows some shares, sells them and then buys them back after the price has (hopefully) dropped and returns the borrowed shares, pocketing the price difference.

Due to the lack of national health dentist's I have not been able to find one willing to take me on their books for many years. Also I am absolutly terrified so my teeth have deteriated bady over the past few years .

Our recent poll on whether the congestion charge should be extended
across the UK provoked a great response from Moneywise users - 79% of
people said no to extending the C-zone to other UK cities and the
majority of comments called for this "driving tax" to be scrapped
altogether.
