Angry not just radio charges . . . . . . . . . . .

That may be, but may I remind you, gentlemen, of my earlier post highlighting that aviators and seafarers are NOT treated equally in respect of VAT on professional medical examinations. HMRC are blatantly discriminating against pilots by having aviation medicals charged standard rate VAT, whilst marine medicals (ENG.1's) are exempt.
In Great Britain, in 2008, this is simply outrageous ! Anyone agree ?
Sorry if this is deemed to be "thread drift" - now back to the topic of the radio spectrum ! !
