Maybe I should have added a smiley, Andy meant 'below' not 'bellow'.

And seem to be very strange amounts, at least around here. There is a site somewhere were you can look up the bussiness rates for an area. Round here public loos seem to have bussiness rates of several thousand pounds and quite large bussiness's just a few hundred.

We have a petrol station with rates of 24k a year. I have to pay 2k a year for store I won (a large store granted) No employees, no loos, no rubbish, very little traffic relatively speaking. What am I paying 2k for? The police? Hardly :-/

Depends what you have and what services you use. But on something like I imagine Screwfix's warehouse to be they really aren't extortionate, especially compared with sites on mainland Europe.

But of course businesses do get screwed on NI and everything else.
