BUDGET 2014 looms tomorrow, and with the various increases and cuts expected, we’ve been thinking:

Annoying phrases
Henceforth there should be a tax on the use of the word “dude”. And “banter” while we’re at it. Oh, and “going forward”. And, and, and… Any other suggestions for taxable phrases/words?

Everyone walking at less than the accepted legal speed, extenuating circumstances aside, will be taxed with the full force of the law.
This tortoise is about to get taxed up the wazoo.
Being put on hold
