As it turns out we do have an answer on this one, courtesy of the Liverpool Museum! 😀
One more time. Raising the personal allowance gives more money to everyone earning *above* that figure. Including the highest earners. It does nothing for anyone earning below that figure.
After 995 matches in qualifying and the tournament proper, here are the eight countries left in the FIFA World Cup.
...and note this by think tank Smarter Cambridge Transport in its presentation to the station enquiry...
So that's 72 matches – more than any entire World Cup tournament in the past – basically to get rid of all the Central American teams (except hosts Mexico) and all of the Middle Eastern teams. You'd have much the same tournament if the Euros got together with AFCON.
Martin, this just turned up on the HMHB site (from a local). You probably knew it and it didn’t make the cut, but it’s detail not in the book.
Letter to The Times today. It appears Andy Burnham is a Half Man Half Biscuit fan. There are worse reasons to be Prime Minister. In fact, there's no better reason. #HMHB
Gorgeous new contribution to our collection of Half Man Half Biscuit gig tickets and posters – The Pavilion, Bath, just over 40 years ago. Lots more at halfmanhalfbiscuit.uk/pre-2010-gig... #HMHB

The fan (and club staff) reaction against the CEO’s idiocy in being used by Farridge was huge. Ipswich has always been – and remains – a progressive, inclusive club and took the opportunity to show its colours on the terraces. It was heartening to see.
I think the King made a wise decision not to join Trump in wearing the Official Royal Visit Hat.
Astonishing result from WSL2 – congratulations to Ipswich Town Women for staying up in their first season. 🎉 #itfc
Support for Trump at home is contracting towards the geographical centre, it would seem. He has net approval in just 15 out of 50 states.
