I know someone who thinks DryRobe wearers are a persecuted minority.

If they're not then they ought to be.

It's still a tax-fee bonus for the rich , even if you somehow think you are poor, IC

No, I didn't class myself as poor.

And whilst it might be a tax fee bonus for the Rich, do you really think 4 grand a year is going to make any noticeable difference to a family with two 100k cars, a gym and home cinema?

The point that you seem to be wilfully missing is that the VAT doesn't matter to the wealthy, but it does to those who are only just affording the fees. I don't have 4 grand lying around, and I'm in a household with a reasonably good family income.

What have you got against elite sportsmen and women?

You just sound like someone who makes an exception for themselves, tbqhwy.

The rich not noticing £4k is not a very good argument for not taxing them

Yummy mummies in Volvo SUVs?

Which is why I have never argued that. I have consistently argued that VAT imposition would penalise the poorest families, not the wealthiest.
That's why it is flawed. It makes private schools more exclusive, not less.

DryRobes are usually worn by athletes. My BiL has one - he's an Iron Man (sub 6 hours) as does my niece who is swimming at County Level.
I'm fine with taxing them if worn by yummy mummies in Volvo SUVs though...

Damn! Just Googled Dryrobes and now find, to my shame, that I aspire to own one (or two).

Make sure you order the men's version because the women's one doesn't close properly.

I'll bet they're handy to wear over PJs for early morning trips to the supermarket.

I was busy paying for stuff in the local Spar at the weekend when I was accosted by two people dressed like that: my daughter and her little brother. Their excuse was that they'd just finished the Grizzy.
