    Interesting to read the “you will be excluded from the electronic bookkeeping…if it is contrary to your religion”. I am guessing the Amish community, for example, will be able to avoid this!

    Really surprised to read this, I agree – I think chaos and outrage will ensue due to the overburdening amount of admin needed to do all of this, for no real financial difference for HMRC…surely the tax totals will be the same, just more admin to produce the returns for shorter time periods on a more frequent basis.

    How do you think the government will deal with the rise of popularity of cryptocurrencies? Do you think these might become taxable at some point as well?

    This does sound daunting! Do you know when it is likely to come into force?

    I am not sure how enforceable it will be because I can imagine such a high % of people just forgetting about it, as it isn’t really culturally ingrained to do quarterly returns. How likely are these proposals to come through?

    Thanks for alerting me to this!

    Can you give us an example of what you are looking for Lydia?:) Is it just the lyrics & the vocal melody on the stave? I have found this website useful in the past: Backing Tracks.

  • I would recommend thinking about the times that you are going to teach, so that they are not too late or early, as well as trying to reduce the noise levels were possible. Could you put some things on the walls to help reduce noise?

    In addition, making sure that your students cars are not parking directly in front of your house will help not making you neighbours annoyed about lots of people turning up for lessons.

    Do you use a piano / PA setup for your lessons?

  • Haha, I am not sure a petal board would really get the metal crowd going! Great suggestion for a hippy band though, “hold on folks while I just plug my guitar into these petals”:) You are right, I should open this question up to people who can suggest petals or pedals to create a good metal overdrive distortion tone:)
