    I have only just discovered the HMRC app. The 3 extra years I recently paid for have credited in the most advantageous way (oldest first). I paid from a UK account, one year at a time In two minds as to whether to get it over and done with or pay the remainder year by year

    What cheeses me off

    My dentist did the crown but I needed an endodontist as one in England had incompletely filled my root canal so needed to attack via the gum. If @prozac is seeing the same one I did, he can watch Mr Bean on an overhead screen while he works
