"Fridge" - ordinary white goods just VAT applies..... now "Food Centre" - there's a taxable benefit if I ever heard one!

Sadly not - unfortuantely it's a term that we have adopted from the FAT nation of Americans across the ever-shrinking pond.

Still - Tony Blair SHOULD have prevented it so, yes, in effect, it IS that bast4rds fault!

Probably happened on the same day a Nokia phone with fax capability became a "mobile communication centre", or, in Hollywood language, a "Communicator"...

The white ones have just VAT, but the blue ones (and maybe a black one, though I'm not sure this exists) get an additional amount of duty. All of these fridge freexers have just two doors, unless you know any different?

Did that silver one have the cooling vents though? Looked like an import to me, especially with that non-standard ICE.
