Yes. I get about a £90 rebate every year for it. You should contact Inland Revenue and ask about it.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

i pondered the same question so i wrote a letter to the tax office a few months back about claiming money back for washing uniform etc
the response letter i got from the tax office stated as of 2010 it is incoperated into yout tax code and claiming money back you were due before 2010 could not be claimed for some reason the tax office decided to make up.
hope this helps...
