The figure I have was £436,000 after both sets of death duties had been paid. Jeremy loved farming so much he bummed around the Antipodes for two years and upon return to White House Farm got a job at a Little Chef just off the A10..
Hi Steve_uk
You told me you got the figure from Wilkes' book and that it stated 436k was the net figure. The book makes no ref to net or gross. Where do you get two sets of death duties from? The estate would have been treated as a whole and the tax charged accordingly.
Why do you perceive the fact that Jeremy travelled around the Antipodes and worked at Little Chef before settling down on the farm negatively? Please can you answer?
My partner has two law degrees. However before he joined a firm to do his articles he bummed around as a motorbike messenger for a year.
Upon graduating I travelled around Europe with friends interrailing. My then half English half Italian boyfriend found me a job as an au pair with an Italian family. Through the family I then got a job as a chalet maid in a ski resort. Had a ball for about 18 months until my dad told me times up and I got a 'proper job' and have had a 'proper job' ever since.
Millions of young adults all over the world take time out to 'find themselves', think about what they want to do long-term and have some fun before settling down.
Steve_uk I don't wish to sound rude but I do find your posts rather narrow and judgemental and I cannot help but think that it was this sort of mentality that convicted Jeremy rather than any 'firm evidence'.
