One of the great things about finance is that it may result in you having to pay tax.

And this was a constant grumble in Anglo-Saxon England, which was the most heavily taxed country in the whole of Christendom.

And just when the Anglo-Saxons thought it couldn't get any worse, they got conquered by King Canute and Canute imposed a tax rate that was effectively revoked.

And the brilliant thing about this is that it is free for Lloyd's business account customers.

Guten Tag.

And that was, of course, the national anthem of Germany.

And Dominic, this time in the World Cup, the Germans aren't kind of massive favourites, are they?

But I mean, when it comes to European teams in the World Cup, the Germans are pretty irresistible.

They've won the World Cup four times.

They've been runners-up four times.

They have reached the last four 13 times, which is more even than the Brazilians.

And as the co-founder of our own beloved production company put it, football is a simple game.

22 men chase a ball for 90 minutes.

And at the end, the Germans always win.

Yeah.

And the consequence of that is that football fans certainly have got used to hearing the German anthem a great deal.
