It’s 40 quid, not the end of the world.

I just paid €600 odd euros for a 32 page safety document thingy that the gouvernement wants, and I don’t.

£40 for something you basically get nothing in return for, but if you don't pay it you get a hefty fine. That by most peoples definition is a protection racket.

I was told a while back that if you read the site small print it isn't payable if the data is held for accounting purposes, how true that is I don't know as I couldn't be arsed to take the time to find out to save £40
