I remember the way the local council tried to sting me for poll tax whilst I was away in GW1. When I pointed out that there was no-one at home, the jobsworth told me that, in that case, it would be classified as a 'holiday home' and I have to pay even more.
Fortunately Hesseltine announced that all who had been away in GW1 would have their tax refunded, so the little $hit at the council office had to eat his words and pay up.
