I hope this isn't off-topic in this n/group: My sister living in Bournemouth told me on the phone that VAT has been cut to 1 percent. I find this difficult to believe, and that she may be getting it mixed up with the current interest rate. VAT was 17.5 per cent when I left Britain ten years ago, but I think I heard it had been cut to something like 15 some time ago. I've heard nothing about it on the bBC Worried Service.
