Thank you 49, you are a prince among men.....
I remember when Tim Horton's announced it was opening a outlet in Kanadahar for the Troops. My Sqn was one of the places that the civilians, (that went over to man the Timmies and a few other civilian run places) came for inital training, CBRN and first aid were required. It was fun training them.

- May 21, 2013, 22:54:46 PMWell said, John. That being said, when it comes to Starbucks, I will NEVER enter one of their establishments again; my wifes' nephew, who is employed by a major bank here in Canada, helped kick off a program to send gifts/care packages to Canadian troops in Afghanistan. When he approached Starbucks, (one of many corporations he approached for donations) he was told, short and sweet, "Starbucks does not support Canadian troops". Therefore, this is one Canadianized American who will not support them. Small potatoes to be sure, but it is, after all, the thought that counts.... I realize this has nothing to to do with the issue you raised, but since Lionel told us that I don't have much use for them...
There. My rant for the day. And I didn't even pick on that most pickable of people, the much thought of (and picked on) Ratman......

- May 21, 2013, 20:20:48 PMThe American government is complaining thet Apple is not paying taxes in the USA on billions of dollars of income..
The thing is Apple have registered their offices in Ireland and other countries so the sell everything from Ireland and buy everything in other countries..this means that in the countries that they buy they can claim tax refunds and in Ireland they pay taxes at a much reduced rate..
Google, Starbucks and Amazon also use the same system against Britain..but should we blame them, if our governments aren't clever enough to outwit a few accountants then maybe we need better government.
