Best Christmas Present Ever

Just had a job offer in the post.

10% pay rise, too. Which is nice.

Just don't mention the company car....

 

What sort of Skoda is it?

Congratulations.

 

It's worse than that. Much, much worse.

Toymota Prius.

 

is it a Kia Picanto?

(SteveH) gurgled happily, sounding much like they
were saying:

Conga rats.

<points, laughs>

 

Yes, I know.

On the positive side - we're keeping the Sportwagon, selling Katie's
aging 156 Saloon and I won't be doing too many miles in the Prius.

It's also a massive company car tax saving, too, and they all come with
a slushomatic.

But ideally, it's not what I'd have chosen.

 

Can't you just opt out, and offset the mileage against your tax code
at the prescribed rates?

 

No, if you do over 10k business miles / year, you have to take the car.

Shame, really, as my 156 Sportwagon is very tidy and only has 18k miles
on it.

Still, Katie's had a lovely Christmas present.

 

(SteveH) gurgled happily, sounding much like they
were saying:

You're about to tell us that it's sign-written, aren't you?

<crosses fingers>

 

You know, it would be less embarassing if it were.

At least then people would know it wasn't my choice ;-)

 

You're leaving?

Going to work for Zavvi?

Congrats.

I'm just trying to find the post you made some time ago about never
working for someone who supplied a shite company car

 

Faip cop on that one..... but at least it's not a VAG SDI ;-)

 

It costs nowt apart from the tax.

Ha Ha!

See how low you can get the MPG.

Seriously though, congratulations. That's good news.

 

Yeah, but the SDI might be quicker :-/
