I've just tried to do a couple of edits, but it won't let me
Q7 should read free TV Licence and Q19 should read Gatlin boys and not Gaitlin boys. Extra clue. There were 3 of them involved in the rape of Tommy's wife

1. In April, what major change occurred in relation to a certain tax. MTD
aka "Making Tax Despicable"
2. what major financial event didn't take place in 2019 The Budget
I didn't have to pay tax any based on my income in the previous year.
6. In April, which new political party was formed Change UK (Brexit Party was February)
I'd argue the date they were founded is when they were formed, not when they were officially registered - and that was a couple of months earlier.
Similarly, while BrexitCo was registered in February, it too was founded (therefore arguably formed) earlier.
14. Sausage rolls were in the news in both January and December, what were the reasons (1 point each answer) (Vegan and the Uk's Christmas N0.1, I love sausage rolls, in the news because Ladbaby had had the previous Christmas No.1 We built this City on Sausage Rolls, and proceedings were going to The Trussell Trust, who do a marvellous job, running food banks.)
Apparently, people are referring to this month as Veganuary. But as yet, I haven't found a single place that has vegans on the menu. :(

Apparently, people are referring to this month as Veganuary. And every food business is jumping on this bloody bandwagon. But as yet, I haven't found a single place that has vegans on the menu. :( Ah but they would be no good as food anyway - no meat on their bones!

Yes Vince, that's a valid point.
