That I misremembered that a girl in college had canceled our date after seeing my wheelchair a first time (when in fact she had long known that I used it) reminded me that I had long seen the shadow of disability where it was not present.
Indeed, when I was first elected for Yeovil in 1983, I promised myself that I would not do the job beyond my 60th birthday and would stand down no later than the first general election after that date.
It was admittedly not the rosiest of outlooks despite my own first hand knowledge of some of the great things that this generation has already accomplished to date.
As I am writing this, I am well aware of the date as we are approaching the end of March so as I say this myfirst suggestion is to put a reminder on the calendar to review tax planning and tax reduction strategies in September in order to plan ahead.
