This episode is brought to you by Lloyd's Business and Commercial Banking.

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...

100%.

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

So when it is time to digitise your income tax, you can bank on Lloyd's.

Hello, everyone.

So that was the national anthem of Brazil, one of the great World Cup teams.

And we haven't actually had any Brazilian history, I think, since the last World Cup.

So it is great to have them back.

And Brazil, of course, more closely associated with the World Cup, perhaps than any other team.

They've won it a record five times.

And the team that won in 1970 in Mexico, the team with Pele and everybody, often seen as the greatest national side of all time.

Even though, Dominic, I think World Cup history specialists generally agree that England would have won that tournament had the CIA not poisoned Gordon Banks, the England world keeper.

Remember that game?

I don't, because I was only two at the time.

Yeah.

Anyway, enough about football.
