  @ruari@velocipederider.com I moved over to Vivaldi from Chrome a few weeks ago. Chrome was seriously pissing me off; Vivaldi is a joy to use in comparison.

  @Wicket_weir@mastodon.online This was my technique with lacrosse... except I didn't shout a lot and draw attention to myself.

  @bjn@mstdn.social @ChrisMayLA6@zirk.us Sorry, didn't realise that, I've not got beyond emojis. Sarcasm/humour doesn't always translate well to the written word, so perhaps think about how it looks to other people who don't understand/have never seen your shorthand.

  @ChrisMayLA6@zirk.us @bjn@mstdn.social I didn't anticipate hearing such a sexist comment from you; I really thought you were more intelligent.

  @ChrisMayLA6@zirk.us You're nearly as cynical as myself 😄

  @ChrisMayLA6@zirk.us This rentcharge thing is something I've not come across before but, from the links I gave earlier, is not related to renting a property in the way we normally understand it. Also, it seems to be irrelevant as, according to the legislation, no new rentcharges can be created since 1977. A leasehold property is where you purchase the property for a specific number of years and pay ground rent, i.e. you acquire a chargeable interest in the property. This is not the same as...

  @ChrisMayLA6@zirk.us SDLTM00280 gives definition of chargeable interest. Meaning of rentcharge is at https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1977/30/section/1 and explanation https://beestonshenton.co.uk/rentcharge-1977-rentcharge-act-explained/

  @ChrisMayLA6@zirk.us That whole section is about "leases" but suddenly throws in the term "shorthold tenancies" without clarification. SDLTM00260 is very clear that the tax is chargeable on the acquisition of a chargeable interest. A person renting a property under a simple tenancy agreement does not acquire any sort of chargeable interest in that property.

  @ChrisMayLA6@zirk.us I gave you the link to the actual manual. Have a read and see if you agree with me. It is, of course, ludicrous that renters with no actual interest in a property should be charged such a tax.

  @ChrisMayLA6@zirk.us I think you may have misunderstood the use of tenant in relation to the Stamp Duty Land Tax. As far as I can see by reading relevant parts of the manual, it refers to tenants with leases who acquire a chargeable interest in the property, not ordinary rental tenants who do not acquire such interest. https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/stamp-duty-land-tax-manual/sdltm00260
