Reply to comment by GetlostMaps in MPs can claim Christmas parties on expenses for first time by rainbowarriorhere
Employees can now do this too
If you spend £100 on a christmas meal you essentially get back 20%(or whatever the rate of tax is), you don't get the whole £100 back
Edit: Maximum amount is £150 per person
What about reclaiming tax on the cost of staff entertainment?
When it comes to your employees, the cost of food and drink - whether it's free-of-charge or provided at a subsidy - can be deducted for tax purposes under the following conditions:
An annual event is held, and is open to all members of staff
The cost per head is no more than £150 including VAT

Don't they have microphones in the USA at traffic lights or something where they can poinpoint where a gunshot came from so they can send police there?

Reply to TIL In The 1930s, Baseball rivaled Soccer In England, attracting 10,000 spectators per game. In 1938, at the inaugural Baseball World Cup, Great Britain defeated the USA 4 games to 1. The outbreak of WWII interrupted the sports ascendancy, and it never recovered its prewar popularity. by contextual_somebody
Everyone who went to a school with a field in the British countries have played rounders(The precursor to baseball)
