Title: Council Tax Post by: RobertT on Tuesday, February 21, 2006, 10:46:00 Quote from: "Fred Elliot" Any relation to the Lower Stratton Tucks ? I have no idea, doesn't ring any bells but my Mum and Dad probably know them at least! What are they, some local mafia family or something? (although with Tuck as the surname it doesn't suggest mafia I suppose) Title: Council Tax Post by: Fred Elliot on Tuesday, February 21, 2006, 14:49:29 There arent many of us about mate !

Title: Council Tax Post by: Luci on Tuesday, February 21, 2006, 14:54:15 Our gas has just come through and its 200 (quarterly) however everything is pretty much gas in our house and theres 4 of us. Electricity was £80. seems a lot £440. is it quarterly/six monthly?
Title: Council Tax Post by: McLovin on Tuesday, February 21, 2006, 14:57:55 We had a £283 electricity bill one quarter, but then only £28 last quarter. We have no gas, so thats ok.
