BBC News - Millions yet to file tax return as scammers circle
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-60144406
They aren't going to fine anyone who files up to a month late.
I wish I hadn't seen that as I was going to do mine today but now I probably won't bother.

Maybe all countries should draw up a list of things that they invented and then fight anyone that tries to use them.

Driver arrested over Maida Vale knife killer's death faces no charge
Some common sense for once?A driver who used his car to try to stop a woman being stabbed by her stalker ex-husband in west London has been released without charge.
He was arrested on suspicion of murder and later bailed after Leon McCaskre, 41, died when he was hit while killing Yasmin Chkaifi, 43, in Maida Vale.
The Met Police said it had been decided the 26-year-old would face no further action after a review of the evidence.
The man said he was grateful and thanked those who had supported him.
Blundering about trying not to make too much of a hash of things.
